FYI
- This
website is designed to rank well in the major search
engines and directories.
The success of this strategty
developes over time as the website matures. Hopefully,
when somebody searches for WW2 information they'll
find MtMestas.com on the top of the search results
list instead of
20 pages of links to the DUKES Blue Devils sports
team or Battle Mountain, Nevada. The MtMestas.com
Search Engine Optimazion (SEO) design is ongoing and
significant results will take 2 years. Please visit
the MtMestas.com Forum page and learn how you can
help us be #1.

search by alphabet or do a name search using the MtMestas.com
search engine at the top left of every page.
- The Mt.Mestas
Memorial Monument is searchable by name however
there are not many bios or pictures yet. Research
is ongoing. As soon as we receive some info we'll
publish it.
- The links
should be working. If you
find a typo or a link that isn't working send us an
email and it'll get fixed. Some of the documents are
hard to read. This is because of the original copies.
I will be fixing the worst. Send me an email and link
to any pages you found hard to read and I'll do those
first.
- Some of the
newspaper articles are a little
blurry to read. Some higher resolution images are
going to improve that soon.
- All of the
military content is collected from various
sources.
If you are knowledgeable and spot an error let us
know and we'll check it out. If you know of a document
or article that should be available here at MtMestas.com,
send it to me or let me know about it. If it's about
the 88th Infantry Division or WW2 Italy, I'd like
to have it. I am especially looking for pictures PFC.
Felix B. Mestas,Jr. and of members of the 88th while
