Very nice website you've built here and I'm glad to see so many visitors. My father had A Company of the 811th until he was captured two days before Christmas in 1944, although he did finally manage to make his way back to the battalion after being held as a POW for two months.
He would have been 93 today if he hadn't died of cancer in 1965, and the shame of it was that he had just been notified of his selection for brigadier general only two weeks before the diagnosis.
General Brownfield was my godfather and I went to his funeral at Arlington late last year, and it was just as moving as those service funerals always have been.
My question is, are reunions still being held by the 811th?

My siblings and I and our spouses are attempting to piece together our dad's experiences with Company C 636th Tank Destroyer Battalion in WWII. His name was Joseph H. Jordan. He was wounded on 14 December 1943 at Battle of San Pietro [for which he was awarded a Silver Star and Purple Heart]. We know he was injured trying to put out a fire in the ammunition storage area. After a stint in the hospital he was reassigned. He may have been transferred to the HQ Company of the 36th Infantry Division. Any information or access to records, documents or books would be most appreciated.
Sincerely,
His twelve children
