Just thought I'd add that you can find out some really neat things out on that website. I did a search for my great-grandfather's name. While he was never in the service (he was 58 in 1942), I found his draft registration card. Through his card, I was able to find out what town in Poland he was born in. I've been trying to find out where my family came from in Poland for a long time. I'm quite happy now!
