<!-- Comments: ----- ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ----------
This next section, "Service during the War" below, should describe what, if known, the 
serviceman did during the war. Just as with the MemberImage snippet, above, MemberPage 
requires that serviceman's DB ID be filled out with zeros when less than 1000. I.e. 54 
becomes 0054. Once again, this is necessary in order for the website to find the 
required information. If little is known about this serviceman, then, please fill out 
the minimal information about such as his first and last missions, any aircraft or 
crews he served with. Like the serviceman's ID, Mission and crew information must be 
filled out with additional 0s if less than a certain number. I.e. Mission must have 
digits, therefore, any number less than 100 needs leading zeros (003, 004, 005, etc...) 
as part of the snippet. Similarly, Crew Ids require zeros in front for anything less 
than 10000. Aircraft snippets, however, require no leading zeros. I.e. 18423 or 932812 
can be entered as-is.
