Footnote.com Allows Comments for the Dead

Posted by Giselle on March 27, 2008

Losing someone can really be disheartening but for the casualties of war, you can help relatives and friend commemorate who this person was by a simple comment. Sort of like a social bookmarking thing but knowing war veterans who have served the country, they deserve the distinction and respect for the effort of laying their lives on the line for the greater of a whole good.

Footnote.com offers just that. Linked to the archives of the government website, they allow people to access information and pay respects to the people who have died fighting for their country.

Visitors to www.footnote.com, which is linked to www.archives.gov, can find a name on the wall of the memorial, obtain information about that person’s military service and death, and add their own comments or photos. There is no charge for the service.
