Very complete and interesting website for people who live in Europe and want to know more about the soldiers who helped us to be free. Thanks again to Rob and his father . Jean-Bastogne.(Belgium).

I am investigating my uncle, Joseph Manz from Pittsburgh PA. I have a picture of him with the tank destroyer patch on his left arm. That is all I have. I would love to know what company/ battalion he served with and what operations he participated. He died in 1967 and I never got to talk to him about his service. Thanks.

My dad was S/Sgt Ralph Williams. Headquarters Company, Medical Detachment.
Great seeing his picture. Dad never talked much about the war, but was proud of his service.

My Dad, John Barakis served with the 774th 'C' company.
Can anyone tell me if there is still an annual reunion? The only one I attended with Dad was in Myrtle Beach quite a number of years ago. He has since passed away.

Hi. My Dad is T-Sgt Everard A Taylor, 654th Tank Destroyer Btn. England, Ireland, France, Belgium, Germany. Wounded in Normandy December 1944. My grandfather saved the letters that my Dad sent home. They are treasures! He once said that they were in Africa, in and out! My mom says he was not remembering right. He was 90 at the time. Does anyway know anything about the 654th?

I am an author, historian and Lecturer who specializes in African American units and contributions through military service from the Revolutionary War to Present. One of my books "Courage and Valor Above and Beyond" is about the African Americans who have received 91 Medals of Honor. This is a great resource site.

My Dad, Captain Robert B. O'Neil was a Lieutenant in the 654th tank destroyer division. He was wounded twice. Unfortunately he passed away when I was 7. Anyone with info greatly appreciated. Our family is donating his captured Nazi flag to the museum in New Orleans as it is signed by all members in his group

My Grandfather was Lt.Col. Albert J. McCurdy of the 819 TD Battalion. I truly enjoyed this website in honor of all the tank destroyer units. I learned some things I didn't know before in reading the history of the 819th.
Thank you to all you had work in putting this together, my family thanks you!
