- Hello, gentlemen, i would like to first, in earnest, thank you all for your selflessness and for the many sacrifices you have made to ensure this great nation's freedom and for the great lengths you went to to liberate other nations. We can never repay you for your selfless actions; we can only respect and honor your efforts. May God Bless you all. I am writing in an effort to gain a larger body of information than i currently have of my uncle (Joseph Silva -- 609th TDs), whom i loved dearly and respected without equivocation. I would greatly appreciate any forthcoming information. Thank you so much. Richard Silva Massachusetts
