My great uncle Sergeant Marshal Renfro received the Bronze star on March 14th 1945 he was with the 823rd Tank Destroyer Battalion. He was pine by Major General Leland Hobbs.

MY DAD, GARLAND HARDEN(HARDIN), SERVED IN CO. "A" 602D TANK DESTROYER BN. THIS WAS AWESOME TO FINALLY FIND A BIT OF INFORMATION AS TO HIS SERVICE. HE PASSED IN 1982. HE ONLY MENTIONED A FEW THINGS ABOUT HIS SERVICE. HE JUST SAID IT WAS PRETTY ROUGH. THANKS. DEAN

My dad is Melvin H. Miller. He served in C Co.,801st TD Bn..I knew of one buddy named Joe Meyers from Wisconsin. Mark DeBrecht's photo of the human pyramid shows my dad on the top left,in T shirt,and no helmet. Caption did not know if they were from C Co,but,my dad was in C Co. I have his 801st unit book that was given at discharge. He never liked to talk about the War,but, the stories he did tell were great. My dad passed in 1987 at 66 years."Gun Up"!

My father, Kirby Crawford, was a member of the 807th. He passed away on March 17, 2017, at the age of 92. My mother, Jean Crawford, died 9 days before him on March 8, 2017. I have my father's amazing scrap book from his days in Europe as a part of the 807th. If anyone would like me to send images, I'll be happy to do so. He documented his tour very well. Scottye Crawford Lee, his daughter.

My grandfather is in the picture of the men all sitting together. They misspelled it, Bailey. he is also on the cover of the book men of the 704th. are there any survivors left? I would like to talk

This is a terrific website - as the historian for the Camp Blanding Museum, I'm really pleased to find so much archival material available. Thanks so much!

my father Raymond Turner and uncle Corbie Stewart were in the war together. In "A" company. One day as my father was driving some high brass guy the Germans over ran the place that they were in. My uncle Corie was captured and stayed that way until the war was over. 2 heros among 1,000,000 's of heros they got the job done.

Note, Marvin C Ellis was in the 774th TAnk Destroyer, Company B, Platoon A, 1st Lt I believe in charge of Platoon.

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. Ashley W. Wright Princton, NJ
