Forum Rules (Everyone Must Read!!!)
1] What you CAN NOT post.
You agree, through your use of this service, that you will not use this forum to post any material which is:
- abusive
- vulgar
- hateful
- harassing
- personal attacks
- obscene
You also may not:
- post images that are too large (max is 500*500px)
- post any copyrighted material unless the copyright is owned by you or cited properly.
- post in UPPER CASE, which is considered yelling
- post messages which insult the Armenians, Armenian culture, traditions, etc
- post racist or other intentionally insensitive material that insults or attacks another culture (including Turks)
The Ankap thread is excluded from the strict rules because that place is more relaxed and you can vent and engage in light insults and humor. Notice it's not a blank ticket, but just a place to vent. If you go into the Ankap thread, you enter at your own risk of being clowned on.
What you PROBABLY SHOULD NOT post...
Do not post information that you will regret putting out in public. This site comes up on Google, is cached, and all of that, so be aware of that as you post. Do not ask the staff to go through and delete things that you regret making available on the web for all to see because we will not do it. Think before you post!
2] Use descriptive subject lines & research your post. This means use the SEARCH.
This reduces the chances of double-posting and it also makes it easier for people to see what they do/don't want to read. Using the search function will identify existing threads on the topic so we do not have multiple threads on the same topic.
3] Keep the focus.
Each forum has a focus on a certain topic. Questions outside the scope of a certain forum will either be moved to the appropriate forum, closed, or simply be deleted. Please post your topic in the most appropriate forum. Users that keep doing this will be warned, then banned.
4] Behave as you would in a public location.
This forum is no different than a public place. Behave yourself and act like a decent human being (i.e. be respectful). If you're unable to do so, you're not welcome here and will be made to leave.
5] Respect the authority of moderators/admins.
Public discussions of moderator/admin actions are not allowed on the forum. It is also prohibited to protest moderator actions in titles, avatars, and signatures. If you don't like something that a moderator did, PM or email the moderator and try your best to resolve the problem or difference in private.
6] Promotion of sites or products is not permitted.
Advertisements are not allowed in this venue. No blatant advertising or solicitations of or for business is prohibited.
This includes, but not limited to, personal resumes and links to products or
services with which the poster is affiliated, whether or not a fee is charged
for the product or service. Spamming, in which a user posts the same message repeatedly, is also prohibited.
7] We retain the right to remove any posts and/or Members for any reason, without prior notice.
- PLEASE READ -
Members are welcome to read posts and though we encourage your active participation in the forum, it is not required. If you do participate by posting, however, we expect that on the whole you contribute something to the forum. This means that the bulk of your posts should not be in "fun" threads (e.g. Ankap, Keep & Kill, This or That, etc.). Further, while occasionally it is appropriate to simply voice your agreement or approval, not all of your posts should be of this variety: "LOL Member213!" "I agree."
If it is evident that a member is simply posting for the sake of posting, they will be removed.
8] These Rules & Guidelines may be amended at any time. (last update September 17, 2009)
If you believe an individual is repeatedly breaking the rules, please report to admin/moderator.

Re: WWII : Armenian American Soldiers Buried In US Military Cemeteries Of France
I have created a new page : Armenian-American Soldiers Who Died during WWII resting in the American Military Cimetery of MANILA - Philippines :
I have to get in contact with the administration of this military cemetery so that they send me the locations of the graves of these soldiers who died so young.
If you can contact the administration, please do it. This will help me. My English is not so good.
One day if you happen to travel there, please do not miss to put flowers on their graves and to take photos of them so that we can put on to the web.
They belong to the history of Armenians in the Philippines :

These graves are testimonies of Armenian past in the Philippines -as great French navigator La Perouse testified it for the XVIII century :
Best regards from Paris. Take care. Nil

Re: WWII : Armenian American Soldiers Buried In US Military Cemeteries Of France
Originally posted by hrai View PostCRDA, I've made a list of Armenians in the Manila cemetery and it's nearly double the number you have on your site?
pm if you can.
Meanwhile, friends from Hawaii have sent me photos of the names on graves of Armenian soldiers burried in Punchbowl Cemetery in Honolulu (Hawaii) :
I asked them to organize a religious ceremony of blessing the graves by bringing an Armenian priest from LA or SF.
Also please have a look on the names of American Armenians burried in France : http://www.globalarmenianheritage-ad...ii_usa00fr.htm
I'll contact the Association of Armenian Veterans of French Army : http://www.anciens-combattants-armeniens.org/ .
My father was its President 30 years ago : http://www.globalarmenianheritage-ad...ombattants.htm
You can command this book (I don't have it yet) and please work on it : http://books.google.com/books?id=Lu2...+II.&q=&pgis=1
Our French-Armenian Veteran Association can also organize such a ceremony. I remember my father had told me before he passed away, that in the years 1955-65, this associattion had organized a trip in the province to put lowers on the graves of some of these Armenian American soldiers.
We keep in touch. Take care. Nil (Paris)

Re: WWII : Armenian American Soldiers Buried In US Military Cemeteries Of France
Here are some photos of the graves in Normandy. Unfortunately the sun was striking hard and the pictures are not so successful. Years passing bye, the names engraved are less and less readable :
