“Using Fold3.com”
Presented by: Christine Cohen
The website Fold3.com, in a partnership with the U.S. National Archives, provides a wealth of military resources and documents for veterans from the Revolutionary War of 1776, the War of 1812, Mexican-American and early Indian Wars, Civil War, Spanish-American War, WWI, WWII, Korean War and Vietnam War. The Fold3 name comes from a traditional flag folding ceremony in which the third fold is made in honor and remembrance of veterans who served in defense of their country and to maintain peace throughout the world. Join us as Christine Cohen shows us how to use Fold3 to research the military records, stories, photos, and personal documents of our ancestors who served our country.
