Before proceeding into the 8th Infantry Division Site , I would like to remind all members that DUES are now becoming "due" .... We here at the Association have waived Dues, for the most part, since 911 , for ALL active Military members , when we are notified that they are in active status, for the war on terrorism .. and The Association has not requested dues from regular members unless they asked us as we all are warriors in the cause against the terror threat......
Sadly we must request that ALL Members not on ACTIVE DUTY please remit their dues for the 2007 year.. WITHOUT our member's support this Website will have to go to paid member access on 1 January 2008 in order to preserve our memories and Historys......
PLEASE do not let this happen!
please JOIN or Donate A few Bucks to help us keep this site open for
All to view and enjoy!
just proceed on and click on the donate yellow menu on the far right ...
We thank you for visiting our site and sharing in our memories , historys and in paying trubute to those of our sisters and brothers who gave their all and [ sadly sometimes...] made the ultimate sacrifice for us in the name of freedom and the American way !
