Jane Wagner

  • My father, Capt Charles G. Wagner, was HQ CO with 802nd. I am also a veteran so I am very interested in his military history. Among my father's belongings I found the ribbons for Bronze Star and the Purple Heart. I cannot find any evidence to support if these belonged to my father. He passed away in 1986. If anyone remembers my dad and can verify that these ribbons belonged to him, I would greatly appreciate it.

Joan Wren

  • My dad was in the 602nd tank battalion company B in WWII. He went to the reunions for years but now lost all contact with that group. He would love to hear from anyone from that group or relatives. He is still doing well at the age of 92.

  • My father, Otto Sidenstricker Jr., served in the 775th Tank Battalion from July 1943 to january 1946. My only record is his Separation Qualification Record that states he served in the battle of Luzon and New Guinea. The VFW Post 534 refuses to allow my mother to join the ladies auxiliary because his separation paper does not list his medals. I contacted the records department and they say his records were destroyed in a fire in St. Louis many years ago. Can anyone advise me as to where I might find documents making my mother eligible for joining the VFW Ladies Auxiliary?

  • My father, Robert King was with the 774th TD battalion. He was also the president of the 774 reunion group for a number of years in the mid eighties. I am pretty sure this group kept him going for the last few years of his life. He passed away on December 1st, 1989. My mom died on July 28, 2004. My husband and were able to attend several of the reunions and learned more about his time during the war in those few days than in all the years before. I still have his unit history and original patch.

Patricia Purnhagen

  • My father, William Panciroli, served with the 802 in World War 11. He stared with the National Guard in Hempstead and went to all the reunions. He was very proud to serve and always talked about his buddies, especially Joe Loeffler and Al Hutner. He trained at Ft. Shelby and many others. He was a tank mechanic. He is alive and well at 96. Does anyone have knowledge of this group from Long Island?

Tom Yeager

  • My father James Yeager served with the 817th unit in WWII. I am interested in finding anyone who served with him. His buddies called him "Pop" because he was the oldest enlisted man in the unit.

George Ahart

  • My step father, George G. Ahart of the 809th passed away March 2, 2015 at the age of 92. He treated my like a son and I would like to know more about this wonderful man. If anyone knows him or trained with him at Ft. Hood or served with him in Europe during WWII, please contact me. Charles Parks
