| Name: Kaitlin Saltzer From: New Jersey E-mail: kpunx89@yahoo.com |
I spent three days in Draguignan, France with some of the men from the 517th. I cherished each and every one of our conversations. I was especially touched by Allan Johnson, Leo Dean, Ben Barrett and Hal Beddow. Thank you for sharing your stories with my family. I never had the chance to speak with my Grandfather (of the 45th Division) about his experiences, so hearing your stories was a real honor and pleasure. Love and Respect, Kaitlin Saltzer

I've spent very precious moments on that 16th of August, as well in the US cemetery of Draguignan than in Le Muy were I've got the honnor to meet some of these courageous soldiers who choose to risk their lifes for our freedom. I've taken about 240 pictures, if you give me an adress, I'll send a CD of them to you, as the file is too heavy for internet. Bless you all.

Last Saturday afternoon I had the pleasure to meet and speak with Mr Merle McMorrow and his wife during the commemoration ceremony of Operation Dragoon in Le Muy, France. Together with my wife and kids I really enjoyed being able to meet him and having to opportunity to briefly speak about his experiences during the battles in Southern France and later during the war. I would like to use this opportunity to express my deepest respect for him and all his fellow troopers and veterans who helped liberating France and the rest of Europe. Lest we never forget!

| Name: Travis Ellington From: Chatfield, Texas E-mail: travis3512@yahoo.com |
My name is Travis Ellington, and my grandfather, Ed Ellington served in the 517th from 1943 to 1945. He was in HQ company 1st Bat. I am currently working on a project to document his life; I was young when he passed away, and although I was lucky enough to know him, I was too young to realize what a tremendous sacriface he made for his country and my freedom. I have found a good number of pictures and documents, as well as letters he sent home to his family members. If you would like, I would like to give copies of these articles to you to be added to your website if you could use them. I would also like to make contact with anyone who might have any information on him. Thank you for all the valuable information on the website. Also if anyone has any tips that may help me in finding information on my Grandfather, I would greatly appreciate it. I look forward from hearing from someone soon!
