As America marks Veterans Day on Monday, Ancestry is opening its Fold3 archive free of charge. This makes more than 350 million military records from both World Wars available through midnight. It’s an opportunity for black-and-white photographs in family albums to speak, and to flesh out war stories that veterans often don’t discuss.

“Traditionally,” according to Fold3.com, “the third fold in some flag-folding ceremonies honors and remembers veterans for their sacrifice in defending their country and promoting peace in the world.” Through research, those contributions can be expanded with a picture, rank, theater of service, or newspaper clippings.
