Let me be the first to welcome MR Strikehold. He has several failings and is well known as a slacker in his home town. He will be held accountable for his drunken rants here. OH by the way he runs a pretty fair sight callee Strikehold504. You might want to check it out..................if you don't have to do your taxes or go to the dentist !
Reg sent this to me this week. Here is the adoption certificate for Robert Morneweck's grave that was taken over by Reg (Lennon) and Dick Winter's site, after the former caretaker from the Netherlands recently passed away. Emma had taken care of the gravesite for several decades. So many thanks to her and her family and now to Reg. God bless ya!
I was looking around and found this site on WBG.! Very Nice! Thought I would drop in and learn some history.
I see your dad was involved in Naples Foggia(My dad was in Italy 504th Regimental Combat Team 82nd). I was in that area near Casino in the Mountains with my dad. I also was in Anzio with him to visit the U.S. Cemetery in Netuno.
Well to be more specific I have an email I thought I wouold share. I will add more as they come in if they are of the nature I can share them. so far they have been pretty short. But they are gold to me!!
How's it going?
Everything is fine here. We flew in on a C130 and me and one girl got to sit in the cockpit and listen to the pilots when we were flying, which was pretty cool. We're staying in tents, but they're air conditioned, so it's not too bad. The weather is a little warm, but I'm pretty much used to it by now, so it's not really an issue. I try to stay hydrated with plenty of Budweiser, just kidding. They make sure that we do all of that. We'll be moving into the tents of the unit we are replacing this week, and they have wood walls built, so me and PFC Howard will share a room. If you can, send that three drawer chest, but I don't think we need the flea collars, if we do I'll let you know, but probably not. Also, the unit we're replacing didn't have any injuries or deaths the year they were here, so I think we'll be pretty safe. I'll still stay on my toes though. Well, I better get going, tell everyone I miss them and love them.
Oh my the days can seem so long right now and just when I think I am a little too sad and the only one really missing Dusty the little one comes up with a plan so to speak. I was folding Dsutys laundry and she asked me what are you going to do with his laundry? I told her I would just put it away for him. She says well he really likes his sweatshirt maybe you should put it in an envelope and mail it to him. I otld her we would have to wait & do that later. So an hour or so goes by and I am on the next load of laundry and she sees another piece of his clothing and say I have an idea I will keep his stuff until he comes home. I told her i can just put his clothes in his dresser and she says well I will keep them for you and then when I really miss Dusty I will just smell him on his shirt and I can pretend hes here and play with him... Oh Lord the little one has here Grandmas genetics. I have saved a shirt from each of the boys so when I get really lonley I smell their scent and I am good to go...the apple dont fall ar from the tree
