more about sew-lexicon

Often copied, duplicated, then placed in other websites, the Space & Electronic Warfare Lexicon was created to answer questions about the rising interest in the subjects as we move forward into the 21st Century. Others are welcome to use our reviews, after the courtesy of contacting us for permission, and crediting our site.

Who we are?

This site was originally built by Joe Cyr, who makes his home in Sarasota, Florida. Joe also writes books, poetry, and lyrics. His songs have been produced on CD's and his music and books are available on his personal website, Joe-Cyr.com.

Our purpose :

The Lexicon was established by Joe Cyr after his many years of service in the military. After his retirement, he saw the need for it clearly. Years of work have been put into the site, which is updated regularly.

Additional Information

This material also includes (or will include shortly) a summary of naval signal flags, International Morse Code, a Cold War civil defense manual, and even a World War I song book. Other information may be added from time to time to keep the site fresh and interesting.
