onto the body of an OP. To get the link, go to the address bar and copy the address and paste it to the body of the OP. Give it a title (we usually use the title of the article) and Bob's your uncle. Welcome to DU

In fact "Bob was my uncle and was an
American hero who fought across France and was in the Battle of the Bulge." Thanks for your help!

I rarely use that phrase so that is an interesting side note. I hope that my help was helpful.
