Update

We took Hunter to the Dr. this morning for an ankle injury that has been going on for a while now.  Two hours later he had a camouflage cast!  He broke his growth plate on the outside of his left ankle.  I am still amazed that is has taken him this long to break something!  I'm hoping tomorrow he will let me take a couple of pics so we will always remember this.  He will be in the cast for three weeks so he is going to miss most of his baseball season.  I think he was more worried about being able to go turkey hunting with my dad this weekend though.  I think they figured out a way to get him to the blind so he can still hunt!  I do feel bad, however, because it has been broke for a while.  The more he did baseball the worse it got...now we know why!

Bringing this blog back is so great.  I love being able to jot a few things down so that we/I will remember them later on.  It will help so much when I go to scrapbook this time.

I have also been working on some genealogy stuff.  It is so addicting!!  Right now I am focusing on Jason's family.  I did solve a major mystery and it was such an awesome feeling!  His 3rd great-grand-father, Joseph Thomas, was in the Civil War and he is buried in Hopewell Virginia in the City Point National Cemetery  I even found what regiment and company he was in.  I cannot wait to see what else I can uncover.  I'm hoping to go the Genealogy Society in town on Thursday after work to do some more research.  I LOVE this stuff!

Marine Casualty Card Database

By
While I was writing Top 10 Blog Posts for 2019 I discovered that my top post was US Marine Casualty Cards from 2014.  Wow!  {There is also an update to the original post here  where I show some more information that was sent to me.}  I went back to read the post and discovered that the links no longer work.  I did a little digging and found a link to the Casualty Card Database at the Marine Corps University website.  At this site you click on the war you want to search and download a searchable spreadsheet.  Once you locate your Marine you send an email to request the card.  There are also links to download information about what the codes mean on the cards. I also found that you can search the U.S. Marine Corps Casualty Index, 1940-1958 , at Ancestry.com.  It gives the casualty date, type, unit, and service number.  There is a link to go to another website from the Ancestry database but that link does not work. {I believe...
