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!

Hi I am currently trying to research my dad's military days. His name was Albert Oldaker ,he was in Co B 635th TD . He never talked much about his service so other than his discharge record and 1 picture of him in uniform, I have nothing to go on.

My dad ,James J Boyle Was with the 802 in France He won a silver star and my respect for him as a man grows every day , even with him gone 10 years If anyone knows him or has family I would love to hear from anyone By far the Greatest generation ,not even close

My Dad was with 692th B co. Don Crawford probably no one left that would remember him but if their is it would be great to here a story about him I have heard several from him . Dad pasted away 2013 just 3 weeks short of 96 . I plan tour Germany and 692 th route spring of 2017 does any one have any info or source for such tours . I have maps of 692 th campaign but they are fairly general . Thank you all Veterans , Happy Veterans Day

I just wanted to say THANK YOU so much for this wonderful website!I filled out the online form to honor my father,1st Lieutenant Stirling L.Beath of the 644th TD Battalion.This is the best "TD" website on the entire internet!

My Dad was in the 629th TD BN. Assigned to CO. B on January 7, 1945. at Chene-al-Pierre, Belgium. He's still alive and currently 92 years old. He was known as "little Mike" (5' 1''...hence, in a Tank). His Name: Michael Woloszynowicz...Later changed to Michael Waring.

-- We are the sons of Dominec Padula (Feb 1919 to May 2008) who was with the 629th TD Bn. His service, along with so many others, defines the heart of "The Greatest Generation" who fought to free the oppressed and safeguard the homeland. In a couple of days (10/23/2015), the bridge over the main line of Norfolk Southern Railroad in Dad's hometown of Bellwood, PA will be officially dedicated to him by the State of Pennsylvania.

Thank you for the opportunity to honor my dad, Cpl Robert Lawrence Downs, Co. A, 605 TD with an entry for him. This is a very interesting site.

My uncle, Sgt. Warren D. Burgess was with the 703rd Tank Destroyer battalion, KIA 2 August 1944 in a Tank Battle with German Panthers. A photo of one of four Panthers destroyed is on the internet. Has the body of a KIA American hero laying in front. Additional details and a photo of Uncle Warren Burgesd is available at Findagrave.com. Warren Burgess, Antioch Cemetery, Panola County, Texas. Amazingly his ID braclet was founf at the battle site by a local French citizen and teturned to out family last week. 71 years after his death. Details included at the Findagrave.com info for Uncle Warren Burgess.

Monroe G. Harmes, my grandfather proudly served in the 817th Tank Battalion. I see him listed in the headquarters roster list on the first page. But not in the photo on file roster? I also have information relating to 1st Army 8th Division, and 3rd Army 104th Division. I am trying to research as much as I can and am in need of assistance. Could someone please help me out? I am not sure exactly what the info I have means. My father says that Monroe was wounded in battle at least one occasion. Thank you, Austin Harmes
