Unfortunately I don't remember much about the details anymore because he passed away when I was 12 1/2. I wish I could remember all the stories he told word for word, because he was one who DID talk about what went on.
Luckily I am in contact now with many of the 540th and I hope they can fill in a lot of the blanks for me. One of the vets just filled out my new questioneer regarding their tour of duty and it has many interesting tidbits in it. I am hoping that when the other men see what he has written, that they will be inspired and it will help to refresh their memories regarding that time period.
Welcome again and I look forward to talking to you about the 540th and the 82nd Airborne.
BTW, you and I can work on shock therapy for the "boys"!
