Carla and Liana Rinaldi

  • Our great-uncle was Private Gene V. DeRocchis. He was KIA on Sept. 22, 1944 in Holland and is buried in a private cemetery in Veroli, Italy. He was part of the 823rd Tank Destroyer Battalion, Company A. His younger sister (our grandmother) is still alive. This website has been very useful in finding out information on his unit and for that we are grateful.

Mel Kerner

  • My dad is currently 93 years old and served in the HQ 640th and left in 1945. He was wondering who might be left in the team and if they wanted to talk or exchange discussion through email. Please respond to this email and I will get you in contact with my Dad! You can contact directly by my email skern757@gmail.com or Mom's email lealynn632@gmail.com. He would love to chat to any one in that team.

Stephen Cobb

  • My Dad (Mark Cobb) is at the bottom right in the 2001 Kentucky reunion picture. He spoke fondly of these reunions and really loved going with my brother who lives in Franklin, Indiana. Unfortunately he is no longer with us. But I really appreciate this site in remembrance of his often mentioned Army unit. —Stephen Cobb / Ithaca, NY Nov. 17, 2014

Michelle Vining Burkhart

  • The photo of Half-pint sitting on the motorcycle was my Dad, Ralph L Vining. He was 4'11" and lied about his height to join the Army.

Marshall Smith

  • My father (CPL Marshall Smith) was in the 656th Company C. He is in the web site picture dated 11/10/1944. 2nd row 1st on the left. He passed away in 1973 at the age of 48. I was 17 at the time and never had a good chance to speak to him about his service. It was really nice to see a picture of his company. I have no pictures from his service days. I would love to hear from anyone who has a history of their service
