WW2DB's 14th Anniversary
As we celebrate WW2DB's 14th birthday today, we want to say thanks once again to all of you, the site's loyal readers, for all your enthusiasm. During this past year, we have set up a profile at Patreon to help us facilitate direct financial support from our readers. I hope you will join the others in supporting us in this manner. Even $1 will go a long way! Your contributions will certainly cover mundane items such as web hosting fees and the purchase of books. Further, they will also help with things with higher price tags, such as cloud computing and costs associated with research trips to the Smithsonian and the National Archives.
