My dad William (Bill) Rohloff was in the 602nd TD Battalion Company B. He is interested in finding out if there are any of the men from company B still out there and if so he would love to hear from you. He was at the battle of the bulge under Patton.

My father and his twin brother served together in the 640.
As a youngster I attended several reuions and met with most of their "buddies". It is an honor to have the memories of those "Great Men".

My father is James D. Willis who was with the 817th TD BN. Co. A when they left Fort Hood. He is listed as being attached to the Headquarters Company in this web roster. He drove ammo truck and later was assigned to drive jeep for staff. My dad will be 94 as of this writing and has never talked of the war until just recently. He is an amazing man who lived through an amazing time. He is my hero.

Thank you for this very informative site! I'm trying to learn a little more about my grandfather's life-he passed away over 30 years ago when I was very young. He was Julian "Jake" Storms of Co B 636th. According to my grandmother, he never spoke about the war after he returned home. Your site has given me some insight into his time in service. Thank you.

I post this to honor my Father John R. Mohr (Rudy) he served with the 824 TD as a Sergeant in Company B. He was a gun section commander and then when the unit converted to the M18 Hellcats a vehicle commander. His driver was Pete Amico. I don't know the name of the rest of the crew but the Platoon Commander was Lt. Sheridan I believe.

Mr. Haldeman,
Thank you for putting this domain together. I'll provide additional information as I locate it.
My father was from Jackson Miss and received the Bronze Star. When he returned the newspaper wanted to interview him and he wouldn't have it. His mom made him call back to agree to the interview. A year later he married the reporter. 8)

My wife's grandfather (Melvin Johnson) who just recently turned 90 years old was assigned to B Co, 629th TD BN. He arrived later in January 1945. He was originally assigned to the Mountain Division at Camp Hale CO as a Ski Instructor. He went home on emergency leave from Camp Hale and the Division deployed before he came back. He was then assigned to drive Tank Destroyers. This was bit of a change for him. He talked about Dachau and the TD that fell through the Remagen Bridge into the Rhine. The AAR on this site that is a "poor scan" talks about the TD that fell through the Bridge. Melvin was lead TD in that column, but pulled over to pull someone out of a ditch. Lucky for him and his crew maybe? He met his wife in Germany after the war, she was actually in the Germany Army during the war. Very interesting history. This website was very helpful to fill in the gaps. Thank you.

My father, Tomas Cortez served on the 821st, Company A out of Fort Hood Tx and then onto Breckenridge KY. He saw action in the battle of St. Lo, France.I am happy to report he is doing good at age 92. He resides in San Jose, CA. His Staff Sgt. was Bruce Edwards. Edwards went onto to be a catcher for the Brooklyn Dodgers who then became the L A Dodgers.
If any of you were in the same battalion, he would love to hear from you. I am his son. My e-mail appears above. God Bless you all who served.

Hey,
I'm the grand daughter of Herbert McNeill and would love any information and pictures I could get of him. He never really talked about his time in the Army but I know he was in CO B 658Th AMPH Tractor BN and that he received a bronze star medal. Hoping to find out more with this great site :)

Unlike my mom (mary) I was able to get my grandpa to talk very little about WWII. But when looking at his medals I was able to get him to open up and tell me what they were for. He told.me how they stormed Normandy and how the Army tried to give him a purple heart when he saved two people from a tank and he told them "Hell no, there are other soliders the deserve better than me". It is nice to learn more of where he was actually stationed over in Europe, also knowing his side of the story makes it that much more complete!

Thank you for this web site to give the ones that served a chance to reconized. My dad Cpl. Clifford Jack was an *** man. He never talked about the war or what he seen. After he passed away that is when I found out about a diary he wrote about his time in the war. It opened up my eyes and after reading it I wanted to know more but he was no longer here. So thank you for answering some of the questions not only me but other people may want to know about there loved one's who have served our country. So thank you to my husband Mel Kilgore for finding out about this web site and getting his name out there. For also digging up and searching all the information.

My great uncle John Cwikla was part of the 635th TD Battalion. I read the reports of the Day he was injured and would eventually die 2 days later on 14 December, 1944. I would love to talk to anyone that might have known him as I never did. Maybe someone has a picture as I have never seen one. I'm a proud veteran and I just want to know the man who died for his country.

My Dad was Clarence T. Leddy, who served in the 819th Recog. Unit in WWII in Palau. He would never discuss with me his time in the war prior to his passing in 1982 at age 60, so it has been very interesting to discover the history of the unit via this web site. I spoke by telephone just yesterday with Richard A. Scalise, who served in the unit with my Dad. I would welcome any contact from anyone who would have know/remembers my Dad. I can never fully express the gratitude and appreciation to all who served with him...

My stepdad was Wayne Moore - he spoke very little about his experience in Bastogne with the 705 td. I've always wondered what grief he must have experienced during that ordeal. My hat is off to all those brave men who faced the germans there.
If anyone happens to have known him, I would be very grateful for any information you could share with me. Many thanks.

When working as a project officer for Combat Developments Command, I was told that the M60A1E2 was "a damned tank destroyer." I then consulted WWII manuals and learned enough about TD deployment to write tactics for the "damned thing." I have been intrigued by the TD concept ever since.

My grandfather Graden James Cook was in the 631st. I am grateful to him and everyone else who has served. I am lucky to have a 13 year old son who is very active in studying WW2 and the history afterwards. We have a few pictures but not much. If anyone has more we would be interested in seeing them.I believe his rank was S/Sargent. Thank you. :) :)

I am somewhat a history buff (WWII) and seeing as to how my father-in-law, Cpl. Clifford Jack (RIP) served this great country of ours in the 603rd, I am interested in learning more about what he did, where all he went. Mr. Jack passed away a few years before I met and married his wonderful daughter, so I never got the chance to meet him. I have been reading his diary, preserved all his medals, commendations, citations etc. to present them to his grandson (my stepson) when he turns 21.
