I heard about this website a few days ago on the radio and have been meaning to post about it.

www.bobbywarns.com

This is a very simple website that was put up in tribute to a US Marine named Bobby Warns that was killed in Iraq. The funeral of Bobby was recorded as a keepsake for his unborn baby. This short highlight-video was quickly placed online to share with family members who were overseas or otherwise unable to attend the service. The web address was also given to the Marines to pass on to Bobby’s friends in Iraq. Within days, the popularity of Bobby’s tribute site exploded, and comments are still pouring in from all over the world.

Wisconsin note to the story, the video was made by Darrell Boeck and Mark Lamkin, owners of Creative Images, a small company in Brookfield, Wisconsin
which specializes in recording weddings and producing promotional programs for business.

If you have 5 minutes, watch the video–well worth it.
