Fly the flag on 9-11

[Walt's Daughter]

Hi Marion,

 

My first post since finding your terrific site. I have spent hours and hours just browzing through it. While looking at the photo album of the 540 engineers contributed by JOEL HINKOFF. I found a photo of an old schoolmate. I grew up with and attended elementary school with Sgt C. Carter. I was with the 389th Port Battalion I met him when the 540th was camped just outside of Naples, also at the Anzio Beachhead. What a small world.

 

I will close now, but you have not heard the last from me. I have a lot of the 389th history to contribute for your history book. I just have to learn more on how to do it.

 

Thanks again for your wonderful pages.

 

Hi Charles:

 

Enjoyed our first few emails, and am very happy to see that you successfully posted to our site. Thanks for joining and your most kind words.

 

Today is a very emotional day for me, as it is for many Americans, this 9-11. I am in the middle of watching the memorial services on TV this morning, so am not quite myself. You can catch my full story here on the site if you wish.

It's great that you remember the 540th and I can't wait to hear more about your encounters and of course the history of your unit.

 

Am going to close for now, as I'm a bit shaky right now, but wanted to welcome you and say how happy I am to make your acquaintance.
