E-mail: jkpinmt@yahoo.com 		I was so excited to find this web page. My father Teddy P. Pierce passed away on Sunday morning the 4th of October. My father served in 517th PRCT during the war. I don't know a whole lot about his service in Europe except that it has always been a source of great pride to be the son of such a brave man. Thank you to all those that served with him.

E-mail: likeelk@yahoo.com 		My Grandfather,Fred T. Beyer was with the 517th. He was wounded in Italy, and then lost his Right arm in the Battle of the Bulge. Like most vetrans, he doesn't like to talk about it. But I must say that if the 18-20 year olds of our day, could be like those of their day. The world would be a whole lot better.

Name: Franklin Thompson
From: Tallahassee, Fl.
E-mail: fcthompson@gmail.com 		I have recently entered two inquiries about my Uncle Raymond F. Thompson. The Raymond F. Thompson that was in the 517th, 3rd Btn., H Company,I have found out, is not my uncle. However, in reading some other entries, I was able to help someone find out under what circumstances his best friend as a boy died.

So my research on my Uncle Ray, that led me, incorrectly, to the 517th, was not in vain.

E-mail: fcthompson@gmail.com 		In the Company H group picture taken at Camp Toccoa, does anyone know the identity of the Soldiers on the back row, 7th from the left and 17th from the left?

I believe that either one may be my Uncle, Pvt. Raymond F. Thompson, who died in France in Sept. 1944.

Name: Gary Hulen
From: Paris MO 65275
E-mail: grhulen@dishmail.net 		My father Marvin R. Oliver died 10/13/44 of wounds he received on patrol somewhere near Sospel, France. He served in Company A of the 517th. While he was anticipating my birth and I was told had carved my name on the b*** stock of his rife, never knew of my birth on 10/11/44 two days before his death. Any infomation, pictures, or knowledge of him would be greatly treasured by myself, my 5 children, and my 7 grandchildren. It would help keep his memory and that of his galant comrades alive for many more years. We should NEVER allow the world to forget the gift of freedom we were given by these young men!
