E-mail: jcfrom1973@hotmail.com 		I love this site! Absolutely, the best place for all things 517th. I am a reenactor/living historian. The unit I am in charge of,has decided that our permanent unit impression, will be that of F Company, 2d Battalion, 517th PRCT.

We would all like to join the association, as friends. We would also like to know, if there are any Vets in The MD, VA, southern PA area, that could serve as an advisor to the unit?

This would be an amazing chance for us to have a one-on-one relationship with a 517th Vet, and get the strait scoop!

E-mail: vavotti@clinbio.com 		My father, Carl Votti, left us in 1999 for that great army in heaven. I miss him so very much. I am hoping to attend the reunion in St. Louis to pay my respects to his commrades and their families. I remember attending the 20th reunion with my father in Fort Bragg, NC. This was back in 1964. I was only 8 years old, but it made a life-long impression. May God bless and keep you all, here, over, and "up" there.

E-mail: aberry@initsys.co.uk 		Hi All,

I am Adam from the UK. Have been an Airborne enthusiast for not sure how many years now, and an avid collector of WWII memorabilia. I am currently working on a book about the actions of the 517th, 551st and 509th during the Battle Of The Bulge. Me and my father have rented an apartment in Belgium especially for research purposes and are over most weekends. Any help regarding the 517ths actions in Belgium, do please E-mail me, i'm especially interest in veteran accounts.

This is a great website, and a god send and its great being able to spend hours searching through the hundreds of photos the website provides.

To all those who served in the 517th PRCT, thank you.

Regards to all, hope to get to know you all soon.

Adam

“Documenting & Preserving the Personal Experiences
of World War 2 Veterans Since 1998”

January 27th 2008

Dear Fellow Veteran:

In 1998, I began my project to collect stories from World War 2 veterans and their families for the purposes of preserving and presentation to today’s youth, adults and future generations before these memories will one day no longer be available.

My collection of over 215 World War 2 stories has received appreciation and recognition from the General Patton Memorial Museum at Chiriaco Summit in California where it is exhibited during special events.

Please contact me to discuss the details of my project, and how you can be an important source of World War 2 history by telling your story about your personal military service and sacrifices.

Participant references and testimonials regarding my work are available.

Very respectfully,

Peter D. Minix
Former SGT. U. S. Marine Corps

E-mail: Elaine_28@cox.net 		Thanks for a great website. My late husband, David Walls, was a member of E Company, Camp Toccoa, he rarely met any other soldier who had even heard of it! I appreciate visiting the site, especially the photos, he was fighting at the Col de Brau and we drove there in 1963. He rarely spoke of the war and now he is gone we can't query him about his service.
