Footnote World War II Collection
One of the coolest websites I have seen is the Footnote World War II Collection. Footnote has worked with the National Archives to compile a great resource of World War II information.
This World War II collection includes tons of photos taken during WWII. These photos are priceless. What a great way to see what our soldiers did during this war.

In addition to this awesome WWII photo gallery, Footnote has collected over 8.8 million pages that they title “Hero Pages.” Each of these pages describes a soldier and shows what they did during the war using a really cool interactive timeline.
You can also create your own Hero Page of someone you know who served in World War II. You can easily upload your own photos, create a timeline and a biography for your hero.
This is truly an awesome way to preserve this history. I think that it is going to be a great tool for teachers and students. So go check out the Footnote World War II Collection.

Wordpress is one of my favourite free and open source software.After I have found that there are many themes and skins available for Wordpress, I begin to see the beauty of using this software.
