National Archive Records & Newspaper articles

I have found records in the National archives of my grand father’s service in the United States, CCC, a civilian work program set up by FDR for young men during the Great Depression. How would I link, or inform others of the existence of these records?
I have also found newspaper articles of my GGF’s tragic death and history of being a WW1 hero. How could I attach the latter to both of these family member’s history/bio?
Thank you.

    If you have images, they can be attached as Memories. However, most of us prefer not to place newspaper articles or other text records there, reserving that space for images that are not text-heavy.

    Please review the articles below on how to create and attach Sources. Either you can link to an external website or attach an image. From there, attach it to the Sources tab.

    As shown in the Help Article Nyx773 linked, attaching an external source to a FamilySearch Tree profile is a simple process. Just be aware that some contributors routinely detach external sources, especially if they go behind a paywall.
