My Great Uncle Felix Swehla is already profiled here, he served in the 803. He wrote many letters home during his service and I've started a blog with scans and transcriptions of those letters.

Thank you to our greatest generation!
I am doing some research on my uncle, Ward V. Jensen. My grandfather had told me he was in a "tank destroyer unit" and having found his obituary, I know he served in both North Africa and Europe. Based on what little digging I have done thus far, he may have been in the 601st.

My dad's name was Lawrence Hurley, from Roff, Ok. He served with the 645th TD Bn, from the begining until march 20th, 1944. I found this site today and found his name on casualty report. He had always said his life and his friends life were spared because of a piece of armor they put over the open hatch on their M-10, just like the report says. He was a good man and pasted away 01/05/2000.

I am the 61 year old son of Alex Poziwilko, who was nicknamed "Pozi". My fatehr passed away in 2004.
I have a boxing glove that I recall being told the glove was found in France and hung in their tank for good luck.
The names "Hudson, Walk, Pozi, Kid, and Arky" were drawn on the glove after troops returnd to the states.
This item was mailed to my father for safe keeping by the person who had the glove since overseas.
Anyone with sentimental cutiosity is welcome to contact me.

My father was Captain James D. Synnott with the 803rd Tank Destroyer Battalion. He wouldn't talk about the war. He had an intense dislike for Patton. He told me if they hadn't run him out of gas you would not be here because he was going to get us all killed.

I had no idea this site existed. I never knew my dad was in this until after his death. He was the greatest man I never knew.
