Various Civil Defense Documents Back to Civil Defense Museum Main		Here are some various Civil Defense documents for your perusal. Most are in Adobe Acrobat pdf format and some in JPG format. I have added a page to each PDF document that says these documents came from www.civildefensemuseum.com. I found an ebay seller who downloaded every document on this page along with all thr text, put the stuff on a CD and was selling it on ebay. I watermarked the shipping receipt with the site address for the same reason. Needless to say I was pretty ticked-off when I found an ebay seller cashing in on what I was providing for free. I'm not trying to claim ownership of the stuff I just want people to know where it came from and that they could have downloaded it here for free.
