Thanks, Jean. I just joined, but I have looked at this site SEVERAL times in the past, and I have seen where Marion, and others, have offered very good tips and info to many folks. I have read the "How-To's" that are available here, and they are very helpful to someone starting research. Like so any others, we have not found much info available in the gov't archives, so it has required beating the bushes for other people who had fathers or grandfathers who served in the 347th, AND who also have some info that is useful.
Once we get our postings all inputted into the Facebook site group, I will try to go ahead and replicate the story here. It is nice that pictures can be shared easily on these forums, as they really help with the story !
