So what is a Blog anyway?
There are many definitions, here is one:
‘A blog is a website in which items are posted on a regular basis and displayed in reverse chronological order. The term blog is a shortened form of weblog or web log. Authoring a blog, maintaining a blog or adding an article to an existing blog is called “blogging”. Individual articles on a blog are called “blog posts,” “posts” or “entries”. A person who posts these entries is called a “blogger”. A blog comprises text, hypertext, images, and links (to other web pages and to video, audio and other files). Blogs use a conversational style of documentation. Often blogs focus on a particular “area of interest”, such as Washington, D.C.’s political goings-on. Some blogs discuss personal experiences.’

Kim A. VanLandingham would like to know how we can get support for the website?
Yes, that's me asking that question. How do I get you guys that I worked with to take the time to pull out the old paperwork and pictures from your closet, attic or garage and then sit down at your dinner table for a few hours and WRITE YOUR BIO?
This is my view. If we only have a handfull of guys who are willing to support us by writing and posting their BIOs then I think the website will fail.
The reason I make that statement is simple.
Our homepage and history page tell the visitor to our site;
Who we are, What we did, When we did it, Where we did it and Why we did it.
Our site talks about an organization that was critical to the war effort. I believe what we did counted for something as I believe you all did! We worked hard to do our drop and we were proud of what we did.
So my question to you now is why don't you take pride in supporting YOUR website?
I have tried to call each and everyone of you if I had your number and I emailed you if you had an email you probably got several emails from me trying drum up support.
You know what I heard from all you guys. I heard how GREAT the 100th AMMS was and it was the BEST time you served while you were in the AF, but then when I ask you for a BIO I hear I am TOO busy, I am just too busy...

Hello Van,
I was checking out the website and didn't know how big the Missile Wing was back in the day. I'm proud to be part of history. Thanks for all your hard work and dedication. Van, I have one question. Did you work that hard on the drones? :) :) Just messing! :) :) Keep up the great work. Later!
