My Father was James H. Adkins. He served with the 818th Tank Destroyer Battalion Company A. I've tried repeatedly to obtain information on his service records but continue to hit a stone wall. Anyone remembering my Dad, Please contact me at my e-mail.

Hi, my name is Troy Reid. I thank all the heroes of the Black Panthers tank Destroyers. My uncle Sargent James B Robinson served in the North Africa, Italy, And Europe theater. I think he was in the 601. Is there anyone who can help me find out. All his brothers and sisters are passed. My brother has his patch all other info is lost but a letter. he wrote his mother and said. Have seen fighting in France, Belgium, Luxemburg, and Germany. All they send at us are old men and young boy`s. hope to be home soon. All you BRAVE SOLDGERS are TRUE HEROES.. Hope some one can help. I`m also a Navy vet. Thank you.

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

First of all, thank you for this website it is a very honorable salute to the 607 T.D
My father was Stanley C. Lee a SSgt. in the 607th Co. C. Very interesting on the campaigns they engaged in. Like many of the men that served in WWII he never talked about what he saw or what he did. This site gives me an insight of what those soldiers went through.
Thanks again for the website.

My dad was in the 804th tank destroyers, his name was John Donaldson, from Mulhall, Oklahoma. He attended the reunions as long as his health permitted, and passed November 13, 2005. He didn't talk much about the war, other than some funny stories, unless he was with other comrades in arms, and I would sometimes be in the audience, just sitting in a corner and listening. Then, I learned of the horrors of war. I salute all the brave men who fought that war so we can enjoy the freedoms we have today, even though those freedoms are being stripped silently away a little at a time. Oh, how we need men like them today!
