Hello Brooke,
No, I was not aware of that (Point Du Hoc Vet here) but that is wonderful news! The WWII veterans on Marion's site make it the best of it's kind in my book . I actually received 2 letters from Mr. Lomell, one of which I have framed, and it is displayed proudly in my tiny "WWII Room." BTW...I met with my cousin Dan last night, who's Dad (my Uncle Rusty) was a tank sergeant in the 691rst Tank Destroyer Battalion. I am sending you a pic of Rusty and crew on the tank (in Germany).
Take Care,
Jim
ps- Rusty (Sgt. Wells) is the one directly beneath the barrel, in helmet.
