Your site is ***. My grandfather served in the 636th. Many of the records you have on that battalion I have never seen before. Thank you so much for your efforts.

My grandfather Jake Brcko served in the 817th TD. BN. Co. B out of Camp Phillips, Kansas. I recently found a plaque somebody had painted for him showing the cat destroying the tank with his teeth. My grandfather passed away in 1991. I'm trying to find out as much information as I can about his service. It's great to find this site and have this as a reference.

Hi, thanks for this website, I have pictures and other papers from the 821st TD Co B; hopefully I will get those scanned and uploaded soon. My grandfather was a 2nd Lieutenant by the time Co B left Europe. My grandpa's name was William (Wild Bill) E. Welch. He passed away September 12, 2002; at that time, he was a Colonel (retired) with the 161st Infantry, Washington National Guard. I always loved hearing his stories about the war; the military was his life. He also helped orchestrate reunions for the battalion. He was the 1st Battalion commander of the 161st in 1968 through the 70s. He joined the 161st in 1940 and was in Bremerton, WA when WWII broke out and the 161st was called up. After training with the 821st TD, he was sent to England with the rest of his company aboard the SS Sea Porpoise...he mentioned in his memoirs that the trip was 11 days and much of the company was sea sick for 5 or 6 of those days. I have old clippings and pictures on my Facebook account, and will be building a dedication page on my website about my grandpa's military life, police life, and guard life.

Sargent Richard Washington Craig Jr. served in the 776th. He is my father. As the years go by I learn more and more about his service and the service of others in WWII. I continually become prouder of him and the other soldiers that served to protect and preserve our country. I salute my father and all the soldiers past and present. Thank you, Kimberly Craig Ruminski

I just saw your link on the Airmen of Buchenwald post. This is a great site and I will look into it more later. Thanks for honoring these men of the Greatest Generation. RK

My Dad was Capt. Fred Hamilton. He was in the 701stand I beleive was part of pioneer company, but I don't see much on here. I know he recieved 2 purple hearts and 2 bronze stars. He passed away in 1995, and I was trying to find information as to where he recieved his wounds. He was wounded in the left forearm and upper leg. I have part of his military recod but none of it had been declassed so I dont have a lot of operational info. Thanks to all the men, women and families of the greatest generation for the sacrifices, bravery, and commitment that you displayed during this very difficult time in our nations history. Respectfully, Kimball Hamilton USN
