Yes, I will see to it that Mr. Hilfiger receives your thank you I will copy and paste the message in an email to the French guide who introduced us to him. He also let my father, a machine gunner, B Co.across. They French have a ceremony and recreation of the crossing each October. They will be please with your efforts to extend your thanks.

BE grateful 141st. I lost 2 of my Uncles saving your infantry division back in France and many more before that. How'd they get lost in the first place? Seems like bad strategic planning to me.

I know he will probably never read this, but I want to thank that gentleman for what he did. My great Uncle died (believed to have died) crossing the Moselle. He was with the 141st Infantry Regiment, 36th Infantry Division.
