Well after three long weeks, I finally completed my revamp of my VI Corps Jukebox, featuring the great music of WWII, which is dedicated to my mom and dad. It's kind of fitting seeing that it's the tenth anniversary of the site. Wow, where has the time gone?!
Many thanks to all my listeners from virtually every continent on the face of the earth. I appreciate all the wonderful fan mail and music and suggestions. Here's to ten more!!

Was contacted by Richard Martinovich by phone, when he came across a menu from his dad's war memorabilia. He couldn't really find out anything about it, so asked me to do a little digging. He sent me a copy in the mail and I will see what I can discover.
Evidently he saw the following data online regarding an Edward Almond, but that was all he was able to find out.
Born in Luray, Virginia , Almond graduated from the Virginia Military Institute (VMI) in 1915 and became an infantry officer in 1916, serving in France with the 4th Division during the final months of World War I .
He graduated from the Command & General Staff School , Fort Leavenworth , Kansas , 1930. After a tour of duty in Philippines he attended the Army War College in 1934.
From 1934 to 1938 he was attached to intelligence Division of the General Staff . Promoted to Lieutenant Colonel in September 1938, he completed the course at Naval War College in 1940 and in January 1941 was assigned staff duty at VI Corps HQ , Providence, Rhode Island .
Promoted to the temporary ranks of Colonel October 1941, Brigadier General March 1942, when was named assistant commander of the 93rd Infantry Division located in Arizona.[1]
