Just want to let you know of the passing of one of your own. My father-in-law, Bob Powell passed away last night (1/26/2012) . He was extremely proud of his service and enjoyed your reunions so much. Please remember him in prayer.

Found this site when looking up information for my grandfather Lt. Harold L. Moll. He was recently diagnosed with cancer and my son is interviewing him on video and trying to document as much of this valuable history as possible. If anyone has more information or links for the 819th TD batallion, please let me know.

I came across your site while trying to do some research on a photo that was given to us here at the Heritage Center. It is Company "A" 159th , I.R.T.B , and I found some great links on your site to find a different way to locate who is in this photo. Thank you so much and I hope you have a wonderful day!

A friend sent an email with photos of a several German WWII tracked vehicles including a
Panzerkampfwagen. I replied that my father, Lt. Thomas M. Michaels (1917-84) had served in the 773rd TD BN and that the tank destroyer was designed to combat German tanks. I have several old photos of the unit in Europe and sent one to him. In response he asked what the ballistics were of the armament. I found your site looking for the answer. The first thing I saw was Col. Frank G. Spiess' name. The last time I saw Col. Spiess was in New Orleans sometime in the 1970's. My wife and I were guests and Colonel and Mrs. Spiess were most gracious hosts.Old memories of attending 773rd. reunions in my boyhood flooded back. Thank you for keeping this history and heritage alive for those who followed the men who served.
Yours,
Thomas M. Michaels, Jr.
