What a surprise to see my photo online as well as some of my father, Robert E (Bob) Mitchell from the 235th reunions. Those were very special times for him.

Sadly, we lost him to leukemia in July 2008.

Thanks for wonderful memories!

My granddaughter will be a Normandy Scholar at the University of Texas in the Spring semester starting in a couple of weeks. After the course work, the 20 students participating will travel to Europe to visit some of the areas they have studied.

My father, Sergeant T4 Robert F. Chambers, served in the 6th ESB during the Normandy Invasion on June 6th, 1944.

I'd like to join the forum as I have some photos that other members have requested concerning the 6th ESB (original monument)

Well, I guesss I should have waited one more day; I received an email copy of my grandfathers DD214 and it shows he was actually in Company A 404th ENGR (C) BN. In WW2. Can anyone help me find someone from that 404th Group? Thanks

My grandfather served in WWII (enlisted 6/1943) in the A. 643 Engineers (C) BN, is what the paperwork says. He was stationed in Italy. I am in the process of finding out more about his service. Any suggestions about where to look would be appreciated. I have located his name and some information on the National Archives.gov website. I would like to learn what unit he was in but have not acquired his DD214 yet. Thanks

My father Daniel A. Corrigan was with the 720th Railway Operations Batallion. He passed away in December of 1999 and didn't share very much of his experiences. I am looking for anything I can find about his unit. This is a wonderful web site. I wish he were able to brouse through it with me. Thank you.

Hello I am the grandson of Cpl.Archie Lee Peek. He was member of the 36th. He served from its inception until his discharge after the war. He would not talk much about his time in the service but what he did say he passed down to me. He passed on in Nov 2007. I miss him dearly. I appreciate those who help keep the memory and history of the 36th alive. You help keep his memory alive also. Thank you to all those who served and sacrificed so I may live free.

Admin reply: Hi: Will be emailing you shortly so we can talk about your father. Thanks for posting.
