My Dad was SamS Ficarola Tech 5 th grade with the 824 th Tank Destroyer Battalion with them from Marseille to Innsbruck.DC paper says under citations and awards EAME TH SER MED w/2 BR STARS. he died 6/4/08

My Dad, Cleo B Roloson, also known as “Lee” and “Tex” served during WWII, beginning Jan. 9, 1942 through June, 1945. He was given a Bronze Star, Purple Heart and a few other medals which I need to find out about. He hardly ever talked about the war but did love watching the old WWII movies and Combat. I have a collection of pictures he took during the war and he kept very good track of where he fought. He had a friend he called “Erkstine” who is in many photos with him. I know it’s a long shot, but I would love to hear from anyone who knew him.

My dad (Garland Taylor Graham) served with the 630 TD in WWII. His records were burnt in the 70's and dad never talked about the war. I do know he was in a fox hole at the Battle of the Bulge for many days. God Bless all that have served our country - you will never be forgotten!

My father Charles w Sanders served with the 654th t d b co b headquarters . All the stories we were told growing up as kids can be found in the daily reports . Its amazing how acute the reports and memories matched . Can't imagine sneaking into the service at 15 , and serving in a war . I always acknowledge every veteran I meet , we will soon loose all the ww 11 vets.

Bernard Poretz (my dad) was a member of the 601st. He trained at Fort Knox. I have the Company Picture marked "Co. B, 5th Armored Replacement Battalion - Capt Leroy S. Billman Comdg." taken on Feb 1942. I am looking for any information about him or any pictures of his battalion. His discharge papers had him as Co A 601st TD Bn.

My Dad was Samuel W. DeStephano who served in 804 TDD, Co A. I sent some of Dad's photos to this site years ago. I thank you again for this wonderful site. If anyone has family who were in the 804th, I would be happy to send paper copies of these photos to them.

My father was Genova J. Marinelli. He was in the 802 tank destroyers from 1942 to the end of WWII He passed away February 12, 2014 at the age of 90. He was proud of his service and was a great example of the 802.

I am a commercial artist living in Killeen, TX., taking care of my 2 war, U.S. ARMY veteran, Dad. I am currently painting a mural for the City of Nolanville, TX., for their new city park. The park will be dedicated to the Gold Star Families, with a drive-a-round monument, in the park. My 120' mural will contain a brief, airbrushed history of Camp/Fort Hood. Your site had proved to be very informative, to my project. I will continue to watch for more updates, especially the photos.

Greetings! Thank you for this website, very much enjoy it! My Uncle was with the 805th, Carol “Charlie” Roefaro from Altoona PA. If there’s anyone that may have known or know of him, please contact me, very much appreciated! I’m from the southern end of Lancaster County PA

My father was 1st Sgt George (Beaver) Wood, Hdqtr Co, 802 nd TD Battalion. I grew up seeing my father and all his buddies at the picnics in Oyster Bay, Christmas parties at Hempstead armory and meetings at my house listening to all the stories and witnessing the camaraderie of these "Band of Brothers." Very proud of my Dad and all those that served in the "802"
