This is my home town, my mom was 10 and my dad was 13. They were lucky they survived. My great grandmother wasn't that lucky,... she went to "Buchenwalt" only because her father was born in the U.S.A.
swanningaround : That's pretty cool, my great uncle was with the 82nd aswell, and I have two other who were with the Marines. I have a general question for everyone... Who was the 509th battalion with?
Its examples like this in history that when I decided to join the military...it was going to be with the 82nd Airborne or nothing at all..Airborne all the way! God bless all veterans before us, serving us and those to come.
I go thursday to Nijmegen and will make sure to pay my respects,unfortunately I was at the Arnhem memorial a few weeks ago and the 1st airborne Pegasus plaque was defaced,a terrible shame
Salutes to those who died during the war. 82nd Div or 101st div. they all done their part and objectives. to let others live and freedom.
