Found my dad's name in report May 1944
#4

As I leaf through all the docs, I find myself treating the men as family. I see a name; ah, I know you. I have a photo of you. I see another name. Oh yes, one of the men from the 540th mentioned you. I feel as though I have met many of them and been there with them. As I go on, I know this will grow. As the months go on and I read more and more, I wlll gather many new friends. I consider them my new family. Sixty years begin to melt and become one with today. It doesn't seem that long ago in my mind...
