Hi! My name is Donna. I am hoping someone can help me learn more about the time my grandfather spent during WWll.

 

He told me a long time ago:

*50th division regular army

*Fought in the battle of bulge

*Had to play dead, because the emeny was killing everyone

 

I have an v-mail that states:

*1st Sgt. Willard M Catron 286th FA. Obsn ( I have not been able to find any info. on 286th)

 

* Bronze Star citition for risking his life to save another during the ETO.

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

Donna

Hi, I just want to say THANK YOU to Marion for posting the info I sent on my dad. Her efforts to remember what vets like my dad and all the other combat engineers did is a true undertaking of appreciation. I must admit that when I first looked at the page I had such a surge of pride for my dad and all the combat engineers it made me a little teary eyed. God bless you Marion and thank you so much for creating this site. Because of this I hope more people will appreciate combat engineers. Jim. ;)

Will Roger's advice - on growing older!

 

 

First, Eventually you will reach a point when you stop lying about

your age and start bragging about it.

 

Second, The older we get, the fewer things seem worth waiting in

line for.

 

Third, Some people try to turn back their odometers. Not me, I want

people to know "why" I look this way. I've traveled a long way and

some of the roads weren't paved.

 

Fourth, When you are dissatisfied and would like to go back to

youth, think of Algebra.

 

Fifth, You know you are getting old when every thing either dries up

or leaks.

 

Sixth, I don't know how I got over the hill without getting to the top.

 

Seventh, One of the many things no one tells you about aging is that

it is such a nice change from being young.

 

Eighth, One must wait until evening to see how splendid the day has

been.

 

Ninth, Being young is beautiful, but being old is comfortable.

 

Tenth, Long ago when men cursed and beat the ground with sticks, it was called witchcraft. Today it's called golf.

 

And finally, If you don't learn to laugh at trouble, you won't have anything to laugh at when you are old.
