• 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.

• Great Information. The 776th Tank Destroyer Battalion was formed from cadre/units of the 188th Field Artillery Regiment, North Dakota Army National Guard. The 188th FA Regiment was reorganized (during WWII mobilization) into the 188th FA Gp, 188th FA Bn, 957 FA Bn, and 776th Tank Destroyer Bn. The 164th Infantry Regiment, North Dakota Army National Guard, was the first US Army unit to offensively engage the enemy when they reinforced the 1st Marines at Guadalcanal on 13 Oct 42. Thank God for the fortitude and courage of the men who saved the world 70 years ago! Editor164thInfantryNews@hotmail.com

• Thank you for this informative site on Tank Destroyer Battalions. My father George Varlas from Wheeling WV served with the 635th Battalion,as he says "his outfit was pulled to go where ever needed", hence they were referred to as a "***" outfit. The site gives me far more knowledge of his service to our country which he speaks little of. He is currently 92 years old. This June my family just visited the Normandy Beaches and the American Cemetary in Normandy above Omaha Beach where my father came in. It is quite moving. 7/2012

• I was very pleased to find this site. My father, Porter Glen Kennedy served in the 809 TD Battalion. As I read this I was remined of the places I had heard him mention. Dad passed away on May, 1, 2011 at 89 years of age. He had fond memories of the men he served with.
