Article: In order to find information about a veteran, you will need the individual's full name, service number, branch of service, conflict(s) the veteran served in, date and place of birth, and date of death if he or she is deceased. Many recent military records are not available online due to privacy policies. You can still request paper copies of these to be sent to you, however, by visiting the VetsRec System website. The National Archives has digitized many service records from various conflicts, from the Civil War to WWII to the Vietnam War. It also provides diplomatic records. New records are added regularly as the Archives continues to digitize them.  These archives contain many types of records. For instance, the WWII records include enlistment records, prisoner of war records, records about Japanese internment, and personnel records.  If you can’t find the actual service records online, you can request copies to be sent to you. These requests are restricted to veterans and immediate next of kin only. You will need to provide information such as the veteran’s name, date and place of birth, social security number, service number, branch of service, and other information. Most service records have been maintained by the federal government since 1790, but most states have also maintained records, especially for conflicts prior to WWII. These archives may be run by various state offices. In New York State, for example, the archive is maintained by the Office of Cultural Education through the New York State Education Department. Each state's archives will vary, both in terms of the information available and the time periods that have been archived. You may need to visit these locations in person if the documents you’re looking for have not yet been digitized.

Skirts come in all different lengths, sizes, and styles, making it easier to pick one that will highlight the parts of your body you’d like it to. Think about what the ideal skirt would look like on you to help you decide which style will be best.  For example, if you don’t like your knees, you’re going to want to choose a skirt that hits below the knee. If you love your legs, you might pick out a miniskirt. These are skirts that will take the attention away from your stomach and pull it to your waist. High-waisted A-line skirts are a great option—A-line skirts are fitted at the waist and slowly widen as they reach the hem. Pick out an empire-style skirt, which has a fitted waist and a skirt that flows out, for a comfortable, laid-back option. If the bottom portion of your body is wider than the top portion, an A-line skirt's tighter waist will help draw attention to the smallest part of your waist while letting the skirt flare out at your hips. Pick out dark-colored A-line skirts that hit your knee for a great look. For example, choose a navy blue A-line skirt with a tie waist. If you have lots of curves, a pencil skirt will flaunt them in a flattering way as pencil skirts are very narrow and fitted. Choose a skirt that brings attention to your waist, such as a skirt with a belt or tie-waist, while also making sure the skirt isn't too tight.  Try wearing an A-line pencil skirt that's tighter in the waist and flows out in the skirt. Black pencil skirts are a great option that will go with almost any top. Pencil skirts are known for being tighter than others, so try walking around in your skirt before selecting it. This includes pencil skirts that aren’t too tight on your body, as well as A-line skirts with a loose skirt. Avoid choosing a skirt with tons of fabric, and stick to ones that show off the natural curves of your body instead of just covering them up. Pick out a pencil skirt that comes just below your knees to show off some leg, or opt for an A-line skirt in a fun pattern to add a bit of flare. If no part of your body is wider than the other, try to highlight any curves you may have with form-fitting skirt options. These include bodycon skirts that hug your body, as well as mini skirts.  Pick out skirts with ruffles, bows, or zippers to add dimension. There are lots of different fabrics that will cling to your body, creating the appearance of curves. Try a form-fitting pencil skirt for a sleek look. If your shoulders are wider than your hips, creating the appearance of a triangle, you want to make your lower half look wider to balance it out. A flared skirt is great at creating width as it flares out at the very bottom—pick out one that goes to at least the knees, though a maxi flared skirt looks great too! Pick out a flared skirt with ruffles or patterns to add even more depth. If you have long legs, you can wear almost any type of skirt, though maxi skirts look particularly great since they flow all the way to the floor. Pick out a maxi skirt that hits right at your ankle if you’re wearing flats, or one that comes to the floor if you’re going to wear heels.  If your legs are quite thin, you can also wear a miniskirt with a straight cut. Pick out maxi skirts with pleats or embellishments to draw more attention to your legs. If you’re on the shorter side, pick out skirts with shorter hemlines. This will help elongate your legs, making you look taller. Above-the-knee skirts are a great option, as are fitted skirts.  Try out a miniskirt if your legs are thin. Choose an above-the-knee skirt that has a high waist for a great look. Wearing high heels with your skirts will also help your legs look longer.
