WWII Vets are an interest to me, as a former vet myself from the 82nd and 1/115 29 ID I have follow the history of both of these great units, I see the 517th was also one of these special units as well.

Name: Clement R. Markley
From: Texas
E-mail: moshe1652@aol.com 		Just checked the lists of the men who won various awards during the war, my dad won two bronze stars and two purple hearts, but his name (Raymond E. Markley) was not on the list for the bronze stars....i was wondering if anyone could tell me why....thanks.

Admin reply: Probably because recordkeeping was poor in general, or because he was wounded or transfered to another unit before the medals were awarded. Do you have documentation?

From: Ten Mile, Tennessee
E-mail: jonesec10@gmail.com 		I am so excited to find this wonderful Web page. I am the daughter of Benjamin Jackson Clayton, who was a member of the 517th Parachute Infantry Regiment in World War II. He was in the Battle of the Bulge. I have some wonderful photographs that were taken in France during that time. I will try to figure out how to upload them to this site. My dad died in 1997 at the age of 81. He was so proud of his service and the incredible men he served with.
