Two engineer photos, (one more will arrive soon), from my German friend, Karl. These photos were supplied by his friend, Stewart McCartney.

Received this from Rocky...

Across this great nation, there are heroes next door--heroes who feel alone and forgotten ...

... the ailing WWII veteran spending his last days without a single visitor

... the Korean War veteran who believes nobody remembers the battles he fought

... the Vietnam veteran who was never thanked for his service

... the wounded Iraq war veteran wondering if her life will ever be the same

In honor of every man and woman who ever served this nation honorably, VFW is proud to offer this Tribute to a Forgotten Hero.

This Tribute honors our nation's defenders--especially those who now suffer because of their service. It reminds our troops and veterans we will never, ever forget what they've done for us.

Join us as we honor everyday Americans with extraordinary bravery... the Heroes Next Door.

Please sign the Tribute to a Forgotten Hero guestbook below. You can offer a personal note or simply sign your name in honor of America's heroes. You can also invite a friend to visit the Tribute to a Forgotten Hero by selecting the icon above.

Together we can ensure no hero is ever forgotten.

Dear Jim,

I hope you are doing fine?

I have started a 2nd project which will be ongoing and eventually taken over by my daughter ( 7 years old but she wants to keep my history projects alive :-)

I am looking for Vietnam veterans who would like to share short stories for a new website which I will launch if enough people are interested. Also in memory of my wife's uncle I would like to find a Vietnam uniform which should be easier then all ww2 uniforms. Maybe you can ask around if someone would like to maybe sell such items from Vietnam? It will be displayed in my ww2 museum setup I have right now.

this is the link I might have sent it already to you...

Hello to you all and thanks for letting me participate in this forum. I found this sight while doing some research on the web and think that this has to be the best place to find the info I am looking for. My great granfather ( WT Hancock) served with the 343d Engineer Reg. during WWII and I am trying to find some info his time in Europe. I am living in the Netherlands right now and and have been seeing some amazing history during my time off. One thing I would like to find while I am here, if possible, is the location of where the Dunbar Bridge was built across the Rhine. (29 Mar through 8 Apr 1945) Thank you to you all for your help and have a great day!
