You certainly may use it. And thank you to your nephew for his service to our country and to your family for all the sacrifices that family members go though.

I do not know. Blogger says the site "has been removed" and it has been that way for a while now indicating something more than a temporary outage.

The Google cache from September 4, 2008, shows the last post of Tuesday, August 19, 2008, "Imperial Fleet Week." The comments to that post are still available on Haloscan:

I emailed the website's contact person. I'll post again if I hear anything.

I really miss Military Motivator. It was well done. Does ANYONE know what happened to it? Where it went?

Could you share the source of the photographs? I was particularly wondering about the first one. That boy...

I am not a Naval historian, nor do I know what the U.S. Navy's official position is but I think I went with 1794 because it seems like that is more of the start of the "United States" Navy rather than the 1775 Continental Navy which predates the United States Declaration of Independence in 1776. While the Navy can be "traced back" to 1775, it was disbanded and had no ships until the United States Congress ordered the construction and manning of six frigates on March 17, 1794. To me, at least, that seems more of the true start of the United States Navy rather than tracing it back to the Continental Navy of 1775. I certainly didn't mean to insult anyone or take away 19 years of heritage, so if I am wrong from the "official" version, I apologize.

I created these five Military Motivator so, to the best of my knowledge, they are not printed for sale anywhere. The best you can do is click on the image and the full size will pop up and you can save/print the image from there. Hope that helps.
