Terms of Use

This web site is intended to serve as a repository of historical information to be used by writers, researchers, students writing papers for school, or anyone interested in history. Therefore, anyone can freely quote excerpts of reasonable length from this web site for non-commercial purposes. I define "excerpt of reasonable length" as a total of 10 paragraphs or half the story, whichever is smaller. Please credit "www.memoriesofwar.com" as the source.

If you would like to exceed this limit, or if you would like to use these materials for commercial purposes, you must contact the veteran directly for permission. If no contact information is listed with a story, the veteran does not wish to be contacted, so I cannot help you with contact information.

Anyone may link to these stories from their own web site, so long as they credit this web site in the text next to the link and do not conceal (through top frames, etc.) the fact that the story actually resides on memoriesofwar.com and not the linking web site.

I put this web site up so people would use this information to further their knowledge and other people's knowledge about World War II. So I encourage you to make fair use of this site! In return, I ask that you credit memoriesofwar.com as the source. This, in turn, will help encourage other veterans to share their stories here, making it an even more valuable resource.

Webmasters: No, you may not "borrow" these stories and add them to your own site, unless you have permission from the veteran to do so. But why not go out and find a veteran who's never had the opportunity to share his story? There are lots of them out there, and each deserves his turn.

The veterans who contribute their stories to this site remain the owners of their material, and all the materials on this site are copyrighted by the person who submitted them.

Sincerely,
Stephen Manning
