George W.,

I very much appreciate the support and the sentiment, but I do want to make it clear, I have no plans to shut down the message boards. I do however, need some help with the costs and any excess donations can go toward the further growth and improvement of these sites. Ultimately, I hope to have book sales, military records sales and other revenue streams to cover all the costs. Unfortunately, we're not there yet, so after thinking about this for a few months, I decided to ask my friends here on the message boards to help, if they can.

Thanks again for the support George, we "Martins" gotta' stick together! :-)

Jim
