Mr. Haldeman,
Thank you for putting this domain together. I'll provide additional information as I locate it.
My father was from Jackson Miss and received the Bronze Star. When he returned the newspaper wanted to interview him and he wouldn't have it. His mom made him call back to agree to the interview. A year later he married the reporter. 8)

Hello Joe, I'm Howard Eber's grandson Brian. I have enjoyed the stories that you and Howard shared. I am sure that you were a great friend to him. Did you know he has a son named Dennis like you?
Thanks

My wife's grandfather (Melvin Johnson) who just recently turned 90 years old was assigned to B Co, 629th TD BN. He arrived later in January 1945. He was originally assigned to the Mountain Division at Camp Hale CO as a Ski Instructor. He went home on emergency leave from Camp Hale and the Division deployed before he came back. He was then assigned to drive Tank Destroyers. This was bit of a change for him. He talked about Dachau and the TD that fell through the Remagen Bridge into the Rhine. The AAR on this site that is a "poor scan" talks about the TD that fell through the Bridge. Melvin was lead TD in that column, but pulled over to pull someone out of a ditch. Lucky for him and his crew maybe? He met his wife in Germany after the war, she was actually in the Germany Army during the war. Very interesting history. This website was very helpful to fill in the gaps. Thank you.

My father Richard Mossner was in the 602TD battalion. On his 86th birthday had an opportunity to operate a M-18 Hellcat. Like he never left the controls. He lives at the home he never left near Frankenmuth Michigan.

My father, Tomas Cortez served on the 821st, Company A out of Fort Hood Tx and then onto Breckenridge KY. He saw action in the battle of St. Lo, France.I am happy to report he is doing good at age 92. He resides in San Jose, CA. His Staff Sgt. was Bruce Edwards. Edwards went onto to be a catcher for the Brooklyn Dodgers who then became the L A Dodgers.
If any of you were in the same battalion, he would love to hear from you. I am his son. My e-mail appears above. God Bless you all who served.

Hey,
I'm the grand daughter of Herbert McNeill and would love any information and pictures I could get of him. He never really talked about his time in the Army but I know he was in CO B 658Th AMPH Tractor BN and that he received a bronze star medal. Hoping to find out more with this great site :)
