My father was a T4 radio operator in an M8 in the 607 TD Bn. I am fortunate to have copies of the "TANK BUSTERS" BOOK and some photos of the 607th in Europe. There were many members of the 607th from Oregon and Washington; for many years they held an annual picnic in Portland, OR. At one of these events, my father introduced me to the battalion comander, Col. Harald Sundt who made a special trip to attend. My father passed away in 2006. When we were cleaning up my parents home for sale we discovered my father's army bag in the attic. The bag had the original Railway Express Agency transit tag on it and had been unopened since 1946. Among the things that we found were: A box of unopened K rations, a three-day pass to Paris, a uniform, pictures of the 607th, a small banner from a camp in California, a luger with a release signed by the company commander and much more. It was a true time capsule! Thanks for the excellent sight. Michael

Gilbert Ellmann was my father. I still have several pictures of him in Africa in the battle zone.

My grandfather served in the 701st Tank Distroyer Bn as the secretary to one of the commanding officers. He typed on onion skin paper a daily account of his 42 months of service. I discovered these envelopes with pictures, post cards, foreign money, stamps, memos, and newspaper clippings several years ago when my grandmother passed away. I am now going through these envelopes trying to discover what my grandfather was trying to preserve. I would love to talk to anyone who may have known my grandfather - James Carlisle Collins. He passes away over twenty years ago from cancer. I would have loved to discuss the war with him, but time didn't allow that. God Bless all who have served and all who are serving.

My grandfather was in the 643rd and I don't see his name listed. He was a prisoner of war. His name was Alexander Sosenko.

My Dad Lorenzo Montoya served in the 804th. He has since passed away but thank you for remembering our men and women that served this country which affords us the fredom we have today. God bless American.

My Dad served in the 4th armored 704th bn A company as a tank driver. He left the states sept. 1944 and returned Sept. 1945. Thanks for this sight. Joe B. george son of Johnnie Therris George Sr.

Mr. Dayton Edie was a my hero, and close friend. With Mrs. Edie's approval I'm working on something right now to try and get Mr. Edie the Honor that should have been bestowed on him over sixty five years ago. My goal is that when I'm done people will learn who Mr. Edie was, and know what he did at the `Battle of the Bulge'. You've done a great job with this site.

My father, James H. Westbrook, was a company commander in the 691st TD Battalion. I saw the photo of the recon group at Camp Clairborne (with Dad in the front row) for the first time today on your website. He was wounded on 19 Sept. near Luneville, France but made it back to his unit in November. Dad is still with us, about to celebrate his 96th birthday this month.
