Rhonda, I sent you a check-in message 16 days ago about the Military and War Project to ask you about your continued involvement but have not yet heard back from you. Do you still want to be in the project?

If I don’t hear from you by the same time next week I’ll assume that you’ve moved on to other things but you’re most welcome to re-join the project at any time.

Looking forward to hearing from you,

Mary, Project Coordinator, Military and War Project

Hi Rhonda, it's been eleven days since I asked if your still interested in the US Civil War Project, are you still interested? If I haven't heard from you in the next ten days, I'll assume that your interest in the project has changed and you've moved on to other things. I'd appreciate hearing from you. Thank you.

Hey rhonda! I saw that your a descendant of Elizabeth Anne Morgan - there may be a connection to South Wales through tredeger house, I am based in ireland, I have German connections from bavaria, regensberg, and rhineland, my nanny was an only child her mother died tradgically and her mother's sister was suppose to bring her up, or her nanny, whom was Dutch from utercht, my closest ancestor of the Morgan's was Edward Morgan. Just thought I would sent you a little note, possibly there could - be a connection but not all Morgan's are related, but most English are traced back to a morgan,, nice talking to you xxx dawn

Rhonda,

I just saw this post. My great-grandfather was killed in action during the Korean War. I am thankful for your father's service. I have created a Korean War sticker for him, if you're still interested. I have included the dates of his service in the sticker. I tested it, and it worked for me. Just add the same open bracket to the beginning { and the same closed bracket at the end }, so there are two at the beginning and end. If I paste is correctly, the sticker will appear and you my not be able to see the code. Enjoy!

{Korean War|branch=United States Army|startdate=8 Feb 1951|enddate=17 Feb 1954}

The sticker will look like this, with his name:
Rhonda (Tucker) Zimmerman served in the United States Army in the Korean War
Service started: 8 Feb 1951
Unit(s):
Service ended: 17 Feb 1954
