Here's my buddy Gilles at a commemoration in southern France. As he states, "Here is a photo of me taken during the commemorative march, all filthy and exhausted!"

Gilles commonly represents the 3rd Infantry Division and 36th Combat Engineers.

Found this photo - it's not in very good condition & this

is the best my friend Tom could do with it using photoshop.

My Dad wrote on the back" VI Corps September 1944 "so it's

gotta be in France & there are mountains in the background.

Here it is for whatever it's worth.

Our great Seahorse soldier Henry Papa died. He had been in a VA home for a few years because he was blind. He was one I feel very personal about because he was in my platoon. Once during the deep snow of the Vosges in January '45 he asked me to please slow down. He said, LIeutenant I have a daughter older than you which was a bit of an exaggeration but It was very tough. Soon after that he helped me stop my Platoon Sergeant from shooting himself and fortunately we were able to bring him back to normal after a rest. Henry sent me a card every Christmas until he went blind and I will miss him. May he rest in peace.
