Welcome to Virginia Military Re-Sources© a surf friendly site. VaMR© is here to serve the Soldier, Sailor, Marine or Airman. In its simple present form, it provides links to other sites of various interest. It is targeted to soldiers of every recent era. It caters to the soldiers family, whether it is a spouse, mother, father, sister or brother. It is for the citizen of this country who wants to learn more about the military.

Information mostly revolves around the Commonwealth of Virginia and it's wonderful natural beauty and it's progressive attitude. Virginia has a rich military dating back to the time when the seekers of a new world landed on a peninsula off the James River and called it Jamestowne. As a native Virginian it is my desire to seek out the heritage of this great nation that is rooted in this great territory. During my pursuit it is my desire to share with you.

The other end I'm trying to achieve is assist in the effort to tame this thing called the internet in an area that I am familiar with. This site is borne out of having a need to access the wealth of information found on the internet in one local for a specialized subject. The bulk of detail information is found on the page I call "The Motor Pool", the page that started it all.  I traveled the road working with Army maintenance facilities during the time when information was just appearing on the internet. I never could find a collective spot for the this wealth of information, so I started my own called the "First Shirt". Later, when I returned to Virginia for the last time, I wanted to continue sharing this information and put it together and cater it to those stationed in Virginia. Of course there is no doors on the internet so all who surf can take advantage of the information, but it will continue to be called Virginia's Military Re-Sources. To that end, I have attempted to list all the sites and information found within the boundaries of Virginia and Washington, D.C. (you couldn't have one without the other when it comes to the military) Our headquarters of our great military is in Alexandria in the worlds largest office building called the Pentagon.

Another thing I would like to convey is this strictly a hobby, so far. I continue with the site (to include rebuilding it after a disastrous change over from one hosting provider to another) because of you the user. Every time I decide to pull the plug, I get an email or too commending the effort or looking for information so I press on for you.

I am in no way nor is this site connected directly to the U.S. Government in providing source of information for the user. All sites are of public use or used through the internet by authorized users. (See Disclaimer)

I personally do not want to provide you with too many sites that you don't know where to start. I try to find sites that have good information and links to other sites that would be of interest. The other level I wish to achieve is information for the enlisted soldier, sailor, marine or airman, from E-1 to E-9 to help do their job better. In the future, I will tailor information more in the area of training, and leadership. If you know of other sites that are trying to achieve such goals, I wish to join efforts to provide the best information anywhere on the internet.

What VaMR© isn't is a site to download a lot of cool graphics or links to sites of other sites that link to other sites. (if you understand that then you know what I'm talking about) My efforts are to put resources at your fingertips that you use, often. If you know of other sites that are trying to achieve such goals, I wish to join efforts to provide the best information anywhere on the internet.

Surf Safe
