The idea to ask the nation to sponsor WWII veterans is a noble one and you should read the story behind the site. The problem is about the execution, they should have forgotten about the Flash and concentrated on the content. People like to give to a human, not a name, there is no feeling, no empathy when you are filling out your form. Each veteran should have a photo and a brief synopsis about them and if it brings a tear to the eye even better. I would like to congratulate the people behind this initiative and we should help them (after all the Net was born because of the WWII), but in this time of recession they should employ every tricks in the book to get notice. I would put every veterans profile on Facebook, create a group and a sponsoring widget. Get some veterans to talk about their experience in the war and upload to YouTube and carry on the PR throughout the local papers and news channel. A fake Twitter from the Tranchée would be really interesting to follow.http://overlordlist.co.uk/
