• My father, James Owen Fudge, was invited to join the army after the Battle of the Bulge in 1945. He was 35,married with a handcapped child, but the Army said come on down. During his shot stay his training was in TD. His civil eng. and prior national guard service made it easy to work with the firing. His problem was his age. He was older than everyone in North Fort Hood. Then there was the teeth. They pulled 1/4 of his teeth every Monday until he had none in 4 weeks. He had those same dentures with his Army number when he died in 1999. When VE day came he was set for discharge. He made plans with the Fort Hood staff to have a "little" party for the guys staying inwhile he caught a trin to San Antoino for discharge. Dad bought a lot of beer and some bottle booze from the cab drivers. Seems things got out of hand after he left. I think the Army is still looking for the person that threw that party in '45. He sure liked being part of the TD even if it was for a short time. JDF

• My Uncle, George Kramer, a San Antonio, Texas native, was originally in a TD battalion but was taken out to become a combat medic before he was killed at Swickau, Germany in April of 1945. Two of my cousins, niece, and nephew-in-law are all Aggies. One is now a professor at A&M in the College of Agriculture. My dad and uncle were career Army men and I am a proud military brat. Your website is fabulous.

• Just wanted to say thanks for the info you have put together on this website... You are making a family friend and proud Veteran of the 813 TD unit a happy man... I am pulling all of the unit history for James Frey for him to relive and remember...He was in the Recon Co. for 7 months before being wounded and transferred out in Jan or Feb 1945... His memory is still clear and he has some interesting photos and stories... Next chance I get, I will see if I can get his photos and scan them and forward them onto you for posting...and set up an Honor page for him... Thanks again, Paul Lemley for PFC. James N.
