My father Peter Cepuran was with the 658th Amphibious Tractor Battalion. He too kept in contact with a few of his buddies through Christmas cards and an occasional note. He even attended a few small group reunions when they were close enough to go. I have a few group shots and one with wives in attendance. My dad never said much about his service. Now I feel the pull to learn as much as I can about his experience! Thank you for this site!

My father served in the 817th TD 3rd recon. He didn't talk much about it, but said there were a bunch of great guys.

Reading in your list of honered Heros I saw your listing of Wayne Tennant who was my father in laws Company commander with the 705 TD battalion Company C. I talked to Mr Tennant several years ago on the phone and he told me he remembered my father in law. He told me that he [Mr Tennant] was wounded during the Battle for Bastogne . He helped my wife to understand more of what went on during that battle that her father was in.

Wonderful information. I visit here often and find the information very helpful. Thank you so much for having such a great site. Another site I visit often is U.S. Veteran Compensation Programs. It’s a great site to learn about benefits for veterans, spouses, and dependents. I’ve learned so much from U.S. Veteran Compensation Programs that I started teaching classes around town to veterans groups, teaching them how to gather the right information for benefits, how to get an increase in benefits, who they need to talk to in the VA, and I make sure they visit U.S. Veteran Compensation Programs (http://www.veteranprograms.com) to get free stuff.

Thanks for the history of the 807th TDs. My father, SSgt. Donald R. Cover, Was in the Battalion from its inception until it was disbanded. He was a proud member of Company A serving toward the end of the war as a platoon leader. He was best friends with Don Gaffey, Aurie Ault, and Midge Valente. May they all have Faie Winds and Following Seas, and may they rest forever on Fiddlers Green.

Dear friends,
I'm a Brazilian Army Veteran and studying the 1st Brazilian Infantry Division Italian Campaign documents I came to learn about the 894th fighting alongside our men during the war. Congratulations on a tremendous resource and well put website. All the best my friends. BRASIL
