Hi, with reference to your photo entitled "Soldier taking cover beside an M-18 Tank Destroyer. NARA #5018"
The vehicle is actually a Panther tank :)

My dad Herbert Payne was a gun commander with the 648th TD Bn. He was proud of his time in service and talked of it often. He passed away on Veterans Day 2008. To all the Veterans of WWII thank you.

My Uncle, Derwood Crowley,had a poem in with all his things that was written on a red cross stationary. It was titled,"A Tribute To Tank Destroyers". We wonder if he wrote it. Would anyone out there know of such a poem?

My wife, Lucy, is sister of Michael Defebio who was in 643rd and one of the casualities on April 12, 1945 The family did not have much information about Mike's activities and what they did have did not match up with what I learned. Lucy has Alzheimers now and is the last survivor so it does no good to try and rectify their history. We thank Ben Savelkoul who is one of the Dutch people that adopted graves in Margraten, NL U S Cemetery. Thank you for this web site that provides history and honor to those who served their country in WW II

Glad to see someone is trying to carry on with the Tank Destroyer story. All the best in trying to preserve an important part of WW II history. Since Tank Destroyer units were shuffled around from division, little is know of their service and achievements beyond what is done in sites like this.
I wish you the best of success as you add to the site.
LONNIE :) :) :)
