52 Weeks to Better Genealogy - Challenge #19

Examine the "Genealogy and Military Records" page on the National Archives site: http://www.archives.gov/veterans/research/genealogy.html

I went to the Site:

Genealogy Research in Military Records, looked to the right and saw"New to Research in Military Records" for link to:
Overview: Historical Documents of Interest to Veterans
Online Veterans and Military Documents
Online Military Documents in ARC
