My Dad, John F. Smith from Creighton, Pa. served in the 701 Tank Destroyers in North Africa and Italy. He never would talk about his experiences but now that he has passed away and I watch programs on the History Channel I become more and more aware of what he did for our country and for us. Thank you for all your research and information. May God bless our troops and our great country, America

I have 300+ pictures of Neil F. Hein, Sr. that I purchased at an estate auction. They came from his parents' estate. Neil F. Hein, Jr. does not want any of them. Please contact me if any of them, especially the ones relating to the military, would be of interest to you.

It has been an honor to know Jack all my life. I have the privilege of being a neighbor, friend, and most of all a sister in Christ to him. I get to sit in church service with him each Sunday that our health allows. He is a great person, always looks for his HUGS from the women after church! May God bless you richly through the remainder of your life and we will continue to lift you up in our daily prayers. Keep Ms. Jesse happy and she will keep you happy! Love you dearly, Vanessa!
