War Memorial Registry Project

[Scott Rose]

I've created the first entry for the War Memorial Registry. It's pretty basic but you can check it out here http://www.warmemorialregistry.org/united_states_pennsylvania_beaver_falls.html

The initial layout will be a drill down style that will allow you to descend though the levels, getting narrower as you go.
WORLD/COUNTRY/STATE-PROVENCE/CITY

For now I will group all memorials in a given city on a single page, though that will probably change if sufficient information warrants it.

You can check out the site from the welcome page by going here http://www.warmemorialregistry.org/

I would appreciate any suggestions for improvements and any problems. Thanks.

Scott,
Is it going to be for planes on poles or all war memorials ? In the Phx valley there are 3 well known ones, the F-86D in Chandler, the F-100 in Glendale and the USS Arizona at the state capitol complex.

A while back in my travels, I started taking pictures of all the war memorials in different cities, towns across the country...from Civil War cannons to current millitaria...I'll see if I can drum them up if you like.

Got some fair pictures of the Chandler Planecicle, but it's not, strictly speaking, a war memorial. It's dedicated to the airmen at Williams AFB - probably as much for contributions to the local economy as anything<G>

Are there any strict qualifications for the monuments? I also have some pix of the monument at Pearson commemorating the flight of the Tupolev ANT-25 from Moscow to Vancouver WA too

lol, I click the link and I see an awfully familiar aircraft. It's my home airport! I like the idea of this type of registry.

Thought like asked before, just aircraft or any type of memorial?

[Scott Rose]

As long as it's it's dedicated to the military in some aspect then it qualifies, whether it is specifically dedicated to a war or not. And any type from plaques to statues to tanks and aircraft will find a place there. This is a long term project and will be expanded as information and time is made available. Thanks for the support.
