The 508th was part of the 82d in WWII.
To: Paratrooper
Sorry to hear of your Father's passing. I am not a military person, but I am the daughter-in-law of a deceased Ret. Colonel, who passed away just a few years ago at age 89. Maybe their paths crossed at one time or the other.
He too served in WWII, from Northern Africa to Sicily, then across the Rhine in the Battle of the Bulge all the way to the Czech border. Later he was in the Korean War, and retired in the early sixities after serving in Vietnam.
May God Bless your Family at this time, and may he protect all of your Father's children who are serving this Country in the Military.
To: Paratrooper
Thanks for the clarification.

My father died at 46, was a CPO in the Coast Guard, 4 years running the slot to Russia on a Can or an Ice Breaker, the stress killed him.
My Family has fought in every war this country has been in since 1637 as volunteers. Your father was a brave man and brave men go to the head of the line, my prayers go with him.

Last time I heard the snow in the Family stomping grounds in upstate NY was 12 feet and climbing, a little cold for you rebs. I do have family in Virginia and North Carolina part of the great migration from SW England.

What an amazing family and an amazing man!
To: Paratrooper
May the God of All Comfort surround you and your family during this time of heartbreak and grief ... our liberties and freedoms come from Patriots such as your beloved Father and all those in your family who have stepped forward. Gone ... but not forgotten. May the Lord's protection cover your son, and each who serve, and may success be granted their every mission.

Thank you for posting about your dad. What a great man he was. How wonderful that the last thing he heard was his family singing praises. Prayers for you and your family.
To: Paratrooper
My prayers and empathy is with you as my Dad passed last May. He too was vet (Navy) who served with distinction. The distinction followed him as the bugler who honored my Dad was 100 years old, Leonard "Rosie" Ross, and the Honor Guard were veterans from WWII and Korea. Our family has served back to the Revolutionary as well. I was Army as was my Mom, and my Brother-in-Law.
God bless your Dad and your family!
