A story from Canada - Korea Remembered by Cliff Chatterton

Rocky thought this would be a nice tribute to Papa Art. Thanks! He received the following email from a friend of his:

I would bet that you will enjoy this a whole lot, especially you young and the senior men !!!!!! Turn your sound way up !!

This tribute to the Gray Eagles (WWII pilots) was in conjunction with an air show in Ohio called 'The Final Roundup.'

It was the last large gathering of the remaining P-51 Mustang fighters used during WWII. There were about 120 of the fighters there, all of those in flying condition.

The flyover seen at the end of the video is composed entirely of P51s spelling out the number 51. Send it on, please; it was an event that probably will never be seen again.

Hello to you all,

I am an new member of this great site and I would like to say hello and introduce myself to you.

My name is Jelle Renze Boelens and I live in the Netherlands.

I am verry interested in the WW2 Allied History of WW2.

And I am especialy interested in the US/UK and other Allied Engineerings units and their vehicle,s and machine,s and other equipment as used by them in WW2.

I am also verry interested in the WW2 Allied Recovery,repair and maintenance units and their vehicle,s and equipment and such.

And the Sherman and its family is also an interest of mine.

I am an military modeller and so I like to build 1/35 scale models and diorama,s of the above mentioned vehicle,s and equipment.

Futher more I like to read about these above mentioned subjects and to collect books on them.

I hope in some small way I can help to keep the memory alive of those who gave us our freedom as we know it today,my way is to build 1/35 scalemodels of the vehicle,s and equipment and machine,s as used by those men and women in WW2.

Futher more I like to walk with my two dogs and I take care of my dad how is 85 years old.

At the moment I am disabled,butt on the bright side of that I have more time to build models !

So hello to you al and I see you on the site !

Greetz!

Jelle.

My uncle, T-5 HAROLD E.HAMITER ,served with 974th Ordnance Evacuation Company from pre June 6, 1944 invasion at Normandy until the end of Dec 1945 . The unit was under 1st Army And participated in following campaigns :

Normandy,N.France, Ardennes, Rhineland, Central Europe, Germany .

He is now deceased and I would like to be able to trace his unit's progress during this period .

but cannot find out to which commands the unit was assigned .I feel sure it was an armored command but am unable to confirm .

Is anyone familiar with this unit or possibly the armored command to which it was attached ?

I was a 12 year old boy during this time and wrote to him frequently but he never wrote to me about where he was at the time . When he returned home, he never talked about his wartime experiences .
