Hi this is the letter I received tonight. I have already found some info for her and will post what I found below. She would be most grateful.

Hello, Marion - - -
I, too, am trying to locate information on my husband, Frank Donia. I am giving him a surprise birthday party on July 3rd and was hoping to get information and e-mail information from others that were there and, hopefully, knew him for I am preparing a scrapbook for him. I'm trying to locate others that he was with to hopefully set up some e-mail correspondence with them!
The information he gave me (and I dare not ask him again or he will get suspicious!) was: 348th Combat Engineering unit attached to the 2nd Ranger Battalion, part of 5th Corps, 1st Army. Fox Red (E-3). Says he landed about 6:45 AM at Omaha Beach.
This website is difficult to follow; I just spent an hour getting this far! And I don't know where to look if I get a response!
If I may take the liberty of logging on to some of the individuals you credit with providing you with information?
If you choose to respond to me, please use soomartha@aol.com for I don't want my husband to see any of this or it will spoil the surprise.
Many thanks!
Sandra Donia
So, if you or anyone else has any information, please e-mail me at soomartha@aol.com - Many Thanks!
