Thanks for the post. I was in Infantry replacement training at this date. I was lucky I was not 6 months older or I likely would have been there. 5 months later I landed in Marseille part of a Regimental Combat Team. We were first in Patton’s 3rd Army than in Patch’s 7th. The last Nazi counter-attack to take Stassburg drove us back. We regrouped and by March we were on our way into Germany. I was in Munchen on April 30 when Hitler killed myself. Pardon me for writing this but I had to get it down while things were clear. I will be 91 this year so I hope you understand. Thanks Freepers.
God Bless You, Sir.
You are owed more than we can pay.
Thank you, sir.
Thank you for your service. We owe you a debt that can never be repaid.
