Just received confirmation that my grandfather, James Hillenburg Jr. was a tank driver in the 809th TD Batallion by Golden Arrow Research. We were able to find him in the Company B photo on this website. I’m looking forward to learning more about his service. God Bless our Veterans!

My father, Bernard Joseph Gurney, served with the tank destroyers during WW2. He never wanted to talk about the war, Need help to research his service. Do not want family to forget

My father Henry Thomas (Jim) O’Grady was in the 774 Tank Battalion..................Carol, I am sorry but our site only deals with soldiers that served in tank destroyer units. Because there was both a 774th TD and tank battalion, it can be very confusing. -Rob

My grandfather was part of this battalion. Recently inherited his ring. Great man. Thanks for the website preserving the memories of what these great men did.

It was a blessing to discover the letters that my grandfather Elmer H. Stahl wrote to my mom when she was a little girl while he was serving with the 773rd during WWII. Mom passed away in 2007 and I now have the letters in the same vintage metal Johnston Chocolates box that mom kept them in since she was 9 year old. The letters are very tender and precious, written at a time that I can't imagine the things that grandpa and his buddies had to do and see under the conditions that few will ever experience. God Bless these hero veterans and their families.

Thank you for all of the information contained within this wonderful website! My grandfather served in the 629th Tank Destroyer Battalion during WWII from 1944-1945 in Europe. I have in my possession one of his panther patches, his original honorable discharge paperwork, and many photographs (sadly none are labeled). I have become very interested in trying to learn more about his time in the Army, as he never shared a lot and he passed away in 1996 when I was only 12 years old. I have really enjoyed searching through this website for additional information about his unit. I am also on a mission to replace his medals, as they were stolen when someone broke into his home in the 1980's. I have learned so much from your site - thank you!
