• My father, Louis Kaplan was an instructor on Tank Destroyers. He was sent overseas 8 December 1944 with the 809th Tank Battalion. From my research I believe he was with Montgomery forces under General Bradley at Ruhr Valley at the end of the war. If anyone knows who he was or has pictures, I would appreciate you contacting me.

• My late father in Law Don DePamphilis was a self-less and heroic member of the 894th TDB. He served in Tunisia, the Anzio Beachhead, and Italian campaigns. He is originally form Queens, New York. He rarely spoke about the war. I want to learn more about his service and if anyone else knew him. He earned the following medals and awards for his gallantry and heroism during WWII while defending our country: The Purple Heart w/3 Oak Leaf Clusters, Silver Star, w/3 Oak Leaf Clusters, Conspicuous Service Cross, Awards for Gallantry in Action, Citation for Meritorious Services and The Croix de Guerre w/ 3 Palm leaves by the French Gov't. December 23, 2010 is the 16th anniversary of his death at age 74. I only found out after he died what he had done for this country and what a huge WWII hero he was. I learned about it from old newspaper articles. He never spoke about the war. He has only one grandson, my son, and I want him to see what his grandfather did for this country and that this country appreciates his grandfather's service and sacrifices. Can anyone help?
