• My Maternal Grandfather was a member of the 635th ...I am unsure of which Battalion.. It was a Charlie Company. They used to reunion. He died in 1988, and I am sure his other "Buddy" from Ohio has died. I am pleased to find this web site. I have fond memories of ....The Reagan years"!!!

• Thanks to my sister, Cathy, for finding and sharing this website! What a wonderful tribute to all those who served in World War II and specifically to those assigned to a Tank Destroyer Battalion! My father, Ivan Madsen, like many other veterans, didn't want to talk much about the war; however, in 1996 as I sat down with him one day to look at some of the pictures he had from the war, I started asking him questions. The result of this experience was a large scrapbook and 10-page history of his memories of his time spent as a member of the 823rd Tank Destroyer Battalion. What a treasure for our family! I am grateful this opportunity came before he passed away! He served in Company B and Francis Wilts was his commander. He spoke of him often and of his great respect for him. I am grateful to find additional information on this website that I can add to my father's history! THANK YOU!!!
