I wanted to put photos of Normandy in 1944 and photos of 2008 I took .
Then I'll start with two photos of St Mére L'église in 1944 (from the book of G. Bernage "Utah Beach, Ste Mére L'église" published Heimdal) Note that in 2008 the building in front of the soldier who aims at the bell-tower disappeared.
I'm doing some research for a friend of mine and right now I'm looking at the WW II service of Lambert "Bud" Burkett. I believe that he served as a private in the 1377th Engineer Petroleum Distributing Co., U. S. Army. His daughter doesn't have any info on this unit so I'm trying to find that for her. I'm also trying to find any possible survivors from the unit or family members who might have photos, etc., of the unit. I'd appreciate any help. Thank you.

Hi! Will be 78 on the 15th. Had an early BD party ON the 6th!. My last childhood birthday.
Single now. Mother of 6 wonderful kids. They gave me 16 grandchildren. THen 12 greats with 3 more on the way. They keep me busy.
I thought I had a terrible life because my Dad told me I was stupid and couldn't do anything right. I believed him. An old classmate (by e mail) helped me see my life differently. I had a good life but chose to be negative.
God let me see that he was a miserable unhappy person. I can see him in a different light. He was In Germany during WW 1.
He got shrapnel in his hand and got a purple heart for that. He was gassed while over there. With the help of smoking too much, he died of throat cancer.
MY husband went to see him in the hospitall before he died. He told my hubby that he wished he would have treated me better. I was the best of the bunch! I was able to forgive him before he died. The only time he was proud of me was when I won the American Legion Medal in 8th Grade!
Since I am retired I began to write testimonies of how how God took care of me the years I was alone in strange and dangerous places since my husband (He was in the Korean War) divorced me to marry someone else.He really did me a favor for it made me really grow up! I was able to forgive him just before they pulled his life support.
MY items are on several different sites. I have met a lot of nice people all over the world even from Pakistan. He became a Christian preacher!
I have had so many experiences mostly by cyber space. It is very rewarding.
Just call me Gabby. God bless all of you. I hope to get to know you better.
I found this hanging in our store, when we purchased it back in 2002. I decided to take a good look at it, when we began removing items, replacing things on the walls, or simply moving items of interest to new spots within our market, this month.
I copied each month for you to see, but I had to do them piecemeal (scanned each month in two images), in order to display entire page, since I don't own a LEGAL size scanner (11 X 14).
Hope you enjoy this. They did a very nice job.
There is info on the back of each page, but I will present that later. It will be a bit more difficult to do so, since many of the pages can't simply be cut in two...
