The letters tell an amazing story of one WWII solider through his correspondence with home. The story is here: http://www.phoenixnewtimes.com/issues/2000-02-03/feature.html

I have since tried to write a story about his life for the very simple reason of trying to find out who my father was. It was also an attempt to have permission to ask the questions since I was not allowed to ask about my father as a child. I wonder if your father is still alive, and if he might have known my father, Manuel Cimmarrusti, who was stationed in France and was also stowed away with some other soldiers in a French Farmhouse barn just prior to the war ending. I found in his old address book an address located in Villerupt, France of the French family who he knew then. My father survived the war, but was soon to die in a tragic and mysterious elevator accident in 1955. It is so hard to find information after all this time.....it is just a shot in the dark, but just thought I would take a chance. Sincerely, Linda

My Father also a vet of WW2 told me of his hunting subs of the 'wolf packs' (Poor sods) however I have been interested since a child & As was said about "Saving Private RYAN". It was GORY but I bet that it was even worse than the film portrayed. I am very proud of all the courages men & women who fought so well for the freedom that is ours. Let us never forget what these BRAVE people did to rid the planet of TYRANY. Sincerely and respectfully, Robert MORGAN

RE "SAVING PRIVATE RYAN" (EXCELLENT JOB) It took me a while to realize that Tom Hanks just before he died said to james" JAMES... EARN THIS ...EARN IT. That added a dimension to the film that took me by surprize, poor mrs.MILLER having to cut those rose bushes as a widow. Many strange things happend in that huge "GOD AWFUL SH..Y MESS that w.w.2 was . A GOOD FRIEND OF MINE'S FATHER FLEW IN THE LUFTWAFFE!

My father, also, a WW II veteran, left me some 300 letters after he died 10 years ago. It was only recently that I sat down and read them. I would encourage anyone who comes upon these letters and mementos to do the same. I have learned so much about my father, and how the war affected him from boot camp to returning back to the states from wounds that left him disabled for life at age 19. He was quite the patriotic man. He loved his country and was proud to have served. Again, thank you to one and all who make these memorials to their loved ones. These veterans are all my heroes. I salute them all!!!

Because I am in the process of setting up a similar memorial for my father, I have been browsing around trying to find other similar files hoping, especially, to locate someone who might have been stationed with my father at Sissone (near Rheims). You might be interested in seeing his web page (though the photos are not all posted yet) and that of another person (who was director of one of the hospital units with which my father was associated: My father: http://slide.art.gwu.edu/walters.html Dr. Richmond: http://members.aol.com/rsrichmond/242gh.html If you have any leads on possible additional websites of this type, I'd appreciate them. I seem to just hit them by accident. I was very interested to read about your father.
