I stumbled upon your website looking up information about the SS Dorchester in conjunction with the 242nd anniversary of the Army's Chaplain Corps. I'm impressed at the site's comprehensive information.
One very minor note as an AP Style Army writer on his first visit: under a section about awards, you use the term "winning" or "won." Military decorations are earned or awarded, not won. For example, you might instead use "Iron Cross with Diamonds recipient" or "[medal name] awarded to." For reference, look up the AP Style Guide for US Medal of Honor recipients.
