EVERY PERIOD OF OUR HISTORY IS ON SHOW, AMAZING DISPLAYS FROM ROMANS TO THE

TO THE DESERT WARFARE OF TODAY. NOT ONLY OUR HISTORY BUT TO STAND AND MARVEL AT THE US 7TH CAVALRY

FIGHTING INDIAN TRIBES, COWBOY SHOOTOUTS, THE AMERCIAN CIVIL WAR , THE VIETNAM CONFLICT ).

RIGHTY HO.. HERE WE GO.

I'm surprised I never saw this 1944 movie before, but it's a classic. It's a 4 hanky movie for the ladies and 2 for men (even if you think you're too tough). I watched it this morning on Turner Classic movies and was glad I was watching it alone. It was made really as a movie to boost the war effort as well as a movie about what happens to the family when men go off to war (I only said men because it was WWII, not today ) and messages about dealing with loss. There are some rather corny stereotypes, but I found it very moving overall. Stars: Claudette Colbert, Jennifer Jones,Shirley Temple, Joseph Cotton. 1944.

I have one more research question for all you knowledgable folks out there!!!

My husbands Grandfather and Great Uncle were in the Marines in WWII. Hi Great Uncle was Tadeus J Kinczkowski.

Buried at Sea by Administrative Decision

Name: Tadeus J Kinczkowski

Date of Loss: 23 Nov 1943 0

Branch: U.S. Marine Corps

Rank: PVT

Service Number: 444519

STATUS: Lost at Sea

After a little research I found that the Marines in Nov. 1943 lead a huge amphibius assult on an Island in the Pacific which lead to a lot of controversy because the American people didn't think the small Island was worth the losses.

Its around the same time of his death...but not sure if he was a part of this or not. I am currently trying to get his information for the National Archives Site.

I know this is for the Corps of Engineers...but you all seem so informative, I thought you may have some info Thanks

Hi everyone!

I've been doing some research on my family tree. One night I was talking to my husband's grandmother and she, in passing, mentioned when one of her cousins was brought back home from over seas after having been killed during WWII. All she could remember was that the honor guard was so still that she just itched to pinch one of them to see if they were real.

I did some research on ancestry.com and this is what I found on him:

Name: Barney G Sandretto

Residence State: Michigan

Report Date: 20 Feb 1943

Latest Report Date: 22 Feb 1943

Grade: Technician 5th Grade

Service Branch: Army

Arm or Service: Corps of Engineers

Arm or Service Code: Corps Of Engineers

Area Served: North African Theatre: Tunisia

Detaining Country: Germany

and:

Name: Barney G Sandretto

Gender: Male

Race: White

Religion: Catholic

Cemetery Name: Michigan

Disposition: According to next of kin

Service Branch: Army

I'm not too sure what all the codes mean...but I did try to look some of it up and I think it means that he died by unnatural causes as a POW.

Does anyone have any information they can share??
