  • I am doing research for a compilation of my father's letters home during the war. He was a Captain with the 893rd tank destroyer unit. I loved finding his signature on the action reports. I am hoping to give the letters context for what he was experiencing at the time they were written. This site has been great.

Patricia Montenegro Noriega

  • Thank you so much for adding my grandfather to your website. My sons were very excited and proud of their great grandfather who served our country in WWII. They take with them a piece of history into their lives to share with others about the brave men and women that served our great country. Thanks to my cousin Greg Montenegro for making this possible.What a wonderful tribute. May God Bless and watch over us all.

  • I wrote all that below and didn't clarify - Sgt. Edward P. Tumas was with the 629th Destroyer Battalion.

Scott W. Phillips

  • Great Website ! My Dad (Andrew Phillips) served with the 703rd. I think he was with B Company. He drove the M10 and then the M36. Dad passed away at 87 on 07/29/10. I am trying to put together what information I have as well as the pictures of my father and his TD crew, as a remembrance of him. My Uncle (William Phillips) served with the 803rd C company as a TD driver. He is still alive and doing well at 85 years of age. I plan to do the same for him.

Gerald James Laubenthal

  • My father was James Thomas Laubenthal. He served in the 671st TDB on Leyte and I would very much like to hear from anyone who has any information at all about him or his unit. He was a Sgt and I believe his nickname was 'Curly". He spoke very little about his experience and he passed in 1987 leaving me with many unanswered questions...

  • 8) Outstanding site. I keep hearing people say let us not forget our veterans but saying it and doing something about it are entirely different. Keep up the good work. I just submitted my Uncle who was killed in his tank crossing the Rhine River just before Germany surrendered. He never got to see his only child, a daughter, who was born while he was overseas. Now my Aunt and his daughter are gone. Wish something like this came along before now.

  • Thank you for the awesome write up about my Grandfather and for putting him on your page. It really makes me proud to see him on a site with his peers. So, thank you again for doing this, my family and I appreciate it!

  • Wonderful website. Retired armor officer, served as the BN S4 and HHC Co Cdr in 3-73 Armor Bn (Airborne) in the 82nd ABN DIV. The M551A1 Sheridan had much in common with the TD force of WWII. Fast, hard hitting and THIN ARMOR! Keep up the good work, the TD force needs to be remembered. Respectfully, Joseph L. Haack LTC, U.S. Army (Ret.)
