• Judy Shroyer I'm very new, adding profiles on all surnames I follow and surnames connected to them. I also adopt profiles with no managers and was researching the Military Times Hall of Valor before the website closed due to the government shut down and will continue someday. I have added several military individuals but just began studying all that's involved in getting them into projects. I won't be able to do much in Jan. or Feb. because of other obligations so would appreciate help in getting one person in the Medal of Honor project. He is Rear Admiral Richard Antrim (Antrim-116), so it would be appreciated if Terry Wright or Terri Rick would assign someone to put the profile in order. I wrote a biography but didn't know more about what is involved. Thank You!
