Received this letter this week.

Mrs. Chard,

I am writing in regards to your website. I am an undergraduate student

at the University of Minnesota-Twin Cities and have been doing research in

relation to the 160th Engineers Combat Battalion. A friend of mine

recently past away this last spring and he was a WWII veteran in the 160th.

I was wondering if you had any further information about the 160th or knew

anyone who does. I have been to the National Archives in Washington and

have many of the after action reports, etc. Any information you might have

would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for your time.

This was sent to me by Sergio. Shows just how broadly WWII affected the entire war. It's not too often you get to read docs like these.
