The Sacramento Union
New Electronic Memorial for Fallen Soldiers
May 11, 2007
Special to the Union
SACRAMENTO – David Ryan, president of ElectronicTimeCapsule.com, announced the donation of free web accounts to the children and families of all fallen U.S. soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan at the Operation Homefront/Rebels with a Cause gala dinner May 4 in Sacramento’s Grand Ballroom at 1215 J St.
The donation from ElectronicTimeCapsule.com allows fellow service men and women, family members and friends to write and post videos and photos for the children of fallen soldiers, providing these children the opportunity to understand better their parents through the stories and photos of those who knew them well. Based on the writer’s discretion, a child can view the content of his capsule immediately or on a predetermined date, such as an eighteenth birthday.
“ElectronicTimeCapsule.com [was] honored for its service and generosity to families devastated by the conflict in the Middle East,” said Kathleen DeSpain-Moore, Founder and Executive Director of Rebels with a Cause. “We are completely overwhelmed by Mr. Ryan’s generous contribution to the families of our fallen soldiers and all the additional resources he is personally contributing to help alert families and friends to this unique opportunity.”
As of May 2007, the United States Department of Defense reported a combined 3,736 confirmed casualties, making Ryan’s contribution amount to more than $56,000 of free services.
“The decision to honor the lives of these brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice was clear and immediate once I realized ElectronicTimeCapsule.com’s ability to preserve the memory of slain sol- diers,” said Ryan. “Since our services are geared toward leaving mature messages for presently young children, the site is a natural fit for people who want to tell stories or thoughts – many that are not currently suitable for a small child – about a parent who has fallen serving his country.”
Gala proceeds will support Operation Homefront’s work on behalf of military families as well as the Capital-to-Capital Ride Across America and National Military Appreciation Month campaign produced by Rebels with a Cause, a national service organization based in Sacramento and devoted to promoting patriotism and caring for causes.

We did our first non-web advertising by having a presence at a trade show. We won a prize for the innovation of the year.
We got to present our service to a multitude of people and the response was quite surprising!
We would like to thank the people at www.viedefamille.ca for their support and help with our first trade show.

Yahoo gets into the Electronic Time Capsule ‘field’
We are quite thrilled Yahoo is launching a new ‘time capsule’ project. The time capsule idea is quite close to our service yet very different. This leads us to discuss the Traditional Time Capsule model (what yahoo is doing) and our service.
Direction :
- Traditional time capsules (Yahoo) are not directed at one individual but rather to whoever wants to read/see.
- Our service identifies one recipient
Why? Relevancy of content for the writer and the recipient
Quantity and time:
- Yahoo has 1 capsule delivered/opened on one date (2020)
- Our system can take a multitude of capsules which can all be opened on individual dates.
Why? The writer/contributor has to choice to deem when it is appropriate his message gets delivered. This feature permits a writer/contributor to keep contact for a complete generation…while alive or not to the benefit of the recipient.
Privacy:
- Yahoo will expose all the contents (when written) and (when received)
- Our service is private as every capsule is confidential between the writer/contributor and the recipient
Why? Relevancy… we prefer by far to look at the photo album of our family. It’s the one that is important to the individual.
I have to say we are very impressed with Yahoo and their project. We hope there is a lot of participation. Visually, we love their website and the whole ‘ball’ effect.

School Project
The Gold Ridge Elementary School (California) will be hosting a ‘genealogy’ day.
Kids will be doing genealogy trees and a genealogy expert will come talk about how to share stories and creating time capsules.
Well the PTA organiser called us and asked if we could be involved. After discussions we have agreed to provide a free subscription for a year to all the kids (around 200).
The genealogy day is on November 16th.
If there is other schools or non profit organisation interested in this type of sponsorship, we will gladly look at every event. We put gift certificates in metal capsules for the visual effect.
