Your assistance is being requested to make the website even better and to preserve the great history of the division. We would like to collect oral histories to be added to the website. The only requirements are that the stories be from Americal veterans, be printable in a family forum, and be the truth. Stories will be edited for length and readability but will not be further altered.

You can provide your information in a variety of ways: hand written, typed, electronic file, e-mail, e-mail attachment, voice recording, video recording, or any other technique that is applicable. All stories will eventually be in digital form and converted to individual web pages and posted to the internet website.

The internet is growing very fast and is becoming an easy way to gather information. Your service in the Americal Division is unique and must be recorded and preserved. It will long outlast all of us and be of use for generations to come. Please take a few minutes of your time to record your experiences.

Click here http://www.americal.org/oralhistories/questions.shtml for a list of sample questions is available to help you get started. The list has some questions that you may answer to help tell your story. Answer any and all that you like. Feel free to add things that are not listed. Make the story your story. If this seems like a difficult task it may be easier if you have someone ask you the questions and record the session on a tape recorder or video recorder.

Send your completed information to Gary L. Noller, 1305 SE Willow Tree Dr., Blue Springs, MO 64014. E-mail can be sent to gnoller@aol.com. If you have questions please call 816-228-5486 and leave a message.

Thank you for your time and consideration. It is a valuable contribution to the history of the Americal Division.
