I ask on this day that you not only remember all the men who made sacrifices on this day in history, but please do not forget all those who were already fighting in North Africa, Sicily, Italy, Greece, etc. Many units, such as my dad's regiment, the 540th, had been engaged since 1942. There were many D-Days around the world including numerous campaigns in the Pacific.

Here's to all of them! Thank you!

 After hitting several brick walls I am seeking help as where or how to proceed.  My dad was in Battery A 505th CA (AA) regiment. I know he landed in Salerno. At this point I get totally lost. I can't find where or how his regiment was assigned, or combined with other regiments.  All I know is the last 9 months he was an M P in Germany,arriving back in the states and was separated from service 11/17/45 Indiantown gap Pa.  I received info from Eisenhower library , but there was no unit breakdown. National archives had nothing records were destroyed.  Is there any record that would trace by name or service i.d. number? Any help would be appreciated.  Rick

The upcoming Memorial Day weekend I will be escorting Mr. Jack Frank. Jack served in the 1142nd CEG and was one of the men who also constructed the entrance roadd to the American cemetery in Margraten, The Netherlands. We will visit a school so he can talk to the kids, we will visit the ceremonies in Margraten and Henri-Chapelle, he will meet up with the guy who adopts the grave of one of his friends and of course we will visit the spot in Maastricht where they put up some pontoon bridges.

If there is anybody wo has some questions, please let me know so I can ask them.

Best wishes,

Frank

Dear forum members,

I am from Holland and have an interest in WW2 history, especially the soldiers who fought for our freedom.
Also I collect memorabilia from that era, items that were left behind. Recently I obtained a .30 ammo box that was personalized with the following information: Robert Lanman, 149th Engr, Co C.
Probably he used it for keeping his personal stuff dry, or maybe his equipment.
I am trying to find his whereabouts, especially his ASN. Hopefully there exists a roster, morning report or something alike from this particular unit....and maybe a member can help. A long shot, but worth the try.

Thanks in advance for any help/info,

Antoine
