I did not use any online archives. John Jacob Huitema is my great grandfather. I have talked to him a lot about the war. I meet with him at his assisted living home every week and we talk about the war and he tells me his stories. All of the information is true and there will be more added to this page in the future. This is a work in progress for me to preserve history.
