Well another veteran friend has passed on. He died last evening at 6 PM, after a long and wonderful life.
I'm pleased to say I got to meet up with him several times, including having the wonderful opportunity to spend a couple of weekends at he and Twyla's home here in Michigan. Also went to several 101st Airborne meetings in Farmington Hills, MI, where he, Don Straith, and George Kosimaki, (among others) were in attendance.
Rest in Peace Sgt. Don Burgett, your sacrifice will never be forgotten and your legacy will live on. Don served in A-Company, 506th PIR, 101st Airborne Division. His outstanding books will give you the feeling that you're sitting next to him during the battle. An amazing person has left us.

These are pictures of George Edward Brannon "Ed" and some of his friends in Ft. Screven before they were shipped overseas. I don't have any information on any of the others except for their first names.
These are some pictures that my father in law had stashed away. I am assuming that he was in the 1058th because of the pictures, but all of his records were lost in the fire of 1973. In the one picture with his buddies in a bar or something, George Brannon is the one on the far right. I have no idea who the others are. The picture where they are sitting on a dock or bridge, George is in the center front.
I have a lot more pictures, and will probably post them later. Most appear to be official Army photos that were badly copied.
