Wednesday, December 1st - 41st Division website gets an overhaul
After substantial efforts to recover data lost during Seattle's electrical storm in April, the data recovery
agency in charge of restoring the database has reported that no data is recoverable. To prevent this disaster from happening again,
the website and database have been moved to a more secure location and is being hosted using redundant (backup) devices. A new version of the website
is being built on the Microsoft ".NET" platform. While very few differences will be outwardly apparent, the performace of the interactive
features should improve. Contact us for more details.
Tuesday, June 1st - Friends and family mourn Past National President Reavis "Scott" Ford
"Scott" spent the 1940s
serving the American government fighting in the Pacific. He saw atrocities that
would make us all ill. He parachuted onto the Island of Corregidor off the
coast of the Bataan peninsula where many thousands of men surrendered to the
imperialist Japanese. He "island hopped" his way north toward Japan, dodging
enemy bullets along the way. Scott passed away at his home in Tacoma, Washington,
on the evening of 1 June 2004. No funeral services were held. He will be missed by all his friends and family.
Thursday, April 1st - Computer failure results in data loss
This is no April Fool's joke. In the early morning hours of April 1st,
a power surge caused the server's storage array to crash, wiping out not only
the database, but the database backups as well. Work is being done to retrieve
the data from the hard drive in order to restore the database. Please bear with
us while this task is being unbdertaken.
If you have recently sent email and or submitted questions through the site,
please be patient as your communications are contained in the database backup,
and will be answered once the database has been restored.

This is the website for Uncle Sam's "fighting-est" division. Technically, the 41st
infantry division belongs to the States of the great Northwest. However, men
from each state sooner or later found their way into the ranks of the Division
and gave their blood sweat, and their lives, to make the Sunset Division -
MacArthur's Jungleers - from the States of the Northwest to Australia, through
the cauldron of New Guinea, back to the Philippines, and then to the very
threshold of Tokyo.
