+{{LandingMessage|content1=<p style="text-indent:30px;">Every day, hundreds of veterans and survivors of the WWII era die, thousands of documents, items, photographs, etc are lost and loose their stories. The things that are already known about the war are scattered and at some points difficult to find.
+<p style="text-indent:30px;">Join the cause of the WWII Archives, as we go out and interview as many veterans, survivors, and other people of the WWII era, archive and digitize as many items, documents, photographs, etc, and bring those along with all the known sources about that era the can be found, to create the most detailed articles about each subject from WWII. From your great grandparents to the great leaders, from the most insignificant towns to the famous cities, to the least known events to the different theaters of the war, we will attempt to document and source as much as possible out there before we loose it all.</p>|}}
