Marion,
Hello. I am not sure if you have information on Archie Buffington who was in the 97th. Ray Repasky is my father in law and he heard from Archie's niece yesterday that he had passed away recently. I don't have any details but thought you might be interested. His picture is prevalent among the Ray Repasky pictures on the website.
Best regards,
Kevin Tucker
Marion' note: Unfortunately just a week later, I received this email...

Marion,
I am sorry to tell you that Ray passed away last night, February 13. He was 93 years old. He had heard that his friend from the 97th had passed away last week and I think it really bothered him. He went into the hospital on Sunday and grew progressively worse.
We know Ray really appreciated all of your work on the website and with the pictures. Thanks for keeping him in your thoughts over the years.
GOD Bless you.
Kevin Tucker (Ray's son-in law)

Hello,
I am here on behalf of my Dad Sgt. Joseph J Szvetitz Jr who was in the 20th combat-engineers 1340th Company C. He participated in the invasion of North Africa, Invasion of Sicily and Omaha Beach on D-Day. He was captured in the battle of the Hurtgen Forest and broke out of a POW camp at the end of the conflict. While looking over his WW ll ribbons I noticed there is no CIB. From what I understand the CIB is available to be awarded to infantry. It is also my understanding that although they were Combat Engineers the 1340th were specifically deployed as infantry in the Hurtgen /Forest. I really would appreciate any information this group might have on this issue.
Joseph J Szvetitz lll
