Mary Ann,
Our little wooden box,addressed to my Grandma, was in the basement and contained a metalic gold fringed Nazi flag,an officer's dagger officer's hat ,armbands and a copy of "Road to Rome". I remember reading that little book when I was about7 or 8.My Mom made sure the Luger and Baretta pistols were gone by the time I had a chance to see them.
I grew up around alot of vets since Dad was involved with the American Legion, and remember the old WW1 guys. I didnt know too much about the 36th (Dad never talked about it) and was blown away when I punched it in Yahoo Search and a page came up that said "Elite Units of WW2", and listed them with the Rangers ond others. I never found much else until I found Marion's site in 2004. The rest is history... It's been alot of fun seeing everyone that has shown up here in the last 3 years.
