2 members are celebrating their birthday today

mepaw(86), Dale Winkler(52)

Just wanted to stop by and introduce myself. My Dad was with the 336th Engineer Combat Battalion, Company D. Just wondering if anybody here has any info on this particular group?

Even as a child, I was always so proud that he was there on D-Day and as an adult, that pride only grew. I'm going to browse around as there seems to be some interesting topics.

My Dad passed away 7 yr. ago, at age 84....but like Brocaw says, that certainly WAS the greatest generation!

Best to everyone,

Terri DuLong

Happy Birthday to a very dear friend, and WWII combat engineer, Harold Whiting!!!

All the best to you buddy!

A Time to Honor a Time to Remember

We never saw it coming and it stays in our mind to this day

The very tragic incident

That happened on that Tuesday.

On the eleventh of september

Is when America had changed .

RIP, Every that died that horrible day everyone who died will always be in my heart and mind .

We will never forget !

Reflection of 9.11

Years have come and gone,

Since the towers came down...

Yet nothing is settled,

No peace to be found.

Seems like the efforts,

Made to this date,

Cannot resolve,

Our grief and our fate.

There are still questions there,

With no answers yet found,

Though grass replaces

The rubble from the ground.

The grief that we feel,

Is still fresh and so strong,

Despite all the 'answers'

For what really went wrong.

It seems that the mourning,

Is greater today,

That time does not heal,

Nor make it go way.

911 was a wakeup,

To a nation off guard,

Grief is not easy,

Forgiveness is hard.

So that each day now passes,

With no end in sight,

We remain in our mourning,

Still sealed with that plight.

We pray for the peace,

That only healing brings,

Proudly tell the rest of the world,

That Freedom still rings.
