Hello:
Awesome website. GREAT JOB!
My grandfather, Frank Ondick, was in the tank destroyers. 774/Company B HQ. So awesome to see a picture of him and all the other members that served.
If anyone out there remembers him/served with him, please contact me. He died when I was around six or seven and I did not hear much about his service. He left behind his TD patch, and my family still has his bronze star and some other decorations. I would really like to hear about him some more.
God bless,
Lane

My father Maj. C.Ashley Wright, served in the 635th FA Battalion as Executive Officer and for most of its WWII tour in France and Germany, as acting commander.
My first letter from my father was posted from France when I was four months old. I have all his letters home from his combat tour.
I was conceived in Killeen. TX, outside of Fort Hood when my father was training for deployment but born in NYCity. My NYCity mother wouldn't have me born in Killeen.
I followed in my Dad's footsteps, serving as XO of
an Army 175mm gun battery
in Vietnam, up on the DMZ,
OpCon US 3rd Marines. As I told my Dad before he passed, he may have had more guns and men under his command but my guns were bigger than his 155mm guns.
My best to all of you fellow artillerymen out there and to your families too.

My Dad is Tom Hinton. I found a picture of him in his uniform with the "cat" insignia on his left shoulder. I couldn't find out anything about it. He is 94, still alive and of sound mind. So I asked him and he said he was in the 670th tank destroyer batallion. I googled it and this is what I came up with. I would like to know more. He was drafted right after Pearl Harbor at 19 years old. He came home 6 months after the war ended. What a great generation!

My grandfather was SGT Kenneth G. Jacobs, Company B 801st Tank Destroyer Battalion. I believe that he is standing far left on the picture A group of six men, including Car DeBrecht (kneeling in front row...)" Any further info on him greatly appreciated. Thank you SO much for this website. I have patches from my grandfather that display the panther crushing the teeth like the one in the top left of this web site.
