I am trying to find addintional info about my father, Alvin Schultz, who served in a special forces unit of the 517th, I believe, based on a photo of his that was taken during the war..On the back of the photo he wrote "the 517th a tough bunh of guys"..He told me very little of his experiances in the war no matter how much I pleaded. He did say that he did missions behind the german lines and worked with the french resistance and took part of an assisnation of a french official I believe was Philippe Henroit..The Vichy French propagandist..An amazing story of how I found that out itself..He told me that his unit was dettached and that no records were kept..And unfortunately his records were lost in the fire at St. Louis in the 70's..He told me he was on the beach at D-Day with a green stripe on his helmet and stopped the war for a few minutes by dancing with the jitterbug champion of Chattanoga, Tenn. There is more I could go into but I would like to find out more about the brave men of the 517th and would like to here from anyone that can help..Please contact me 920-238-9781 if you can provide me with any direction you may be able to offer...Thank you very much..Kelly Schultz

I am so excited that I found a picture of my Grandfather. His name is Antonio Salinas, and he was in the HQ 3rd Battallion. It really made his day; especially because all of his pictures have gone missing. Also, in the battalion picture there is a soldier to the left of him who is unnamed. My Grandfather believes his name is Alex Ferra.

I am writing this for my dad, William E. Johnston of Gilmer Texas. He served in the 676th Medical Collecting Company, which was attached to the 517th. He would like to know if there are any surviving members of the 676th or are there any fellow 517th soldiers in East Texas

I have been collecting and documenting the history of our World War II Veterans since 1998. I currently have over 200 veterans from all branches and ranks, in my “private library”. I have always been interested in World War II and what better way to learn this is to talk to the men and women who lived it. It is my way of keeping their memories and stories alive. For every World War II Veteran we loose, a piece of history is gone forever. I believe that it should be told to someone who is willing to take the time to document their story. For the men and women, who served during World War II, they all have a great story to tell, whether they were in combat or sitting behind a desk. They answered the call to duty in a time when more the half the world was at war. When it is my time to pass on, all this information will be placed in the General Patton Museum in Chiriaco Summit, CA so that future generations will know what these men and women went through. One day, all of our Veterans from World War II, will have passed on and so will their stories. If you would like to share you personal experiences of World War 2 with me, please e-mail.

My dad was Tom Latimer & he served in WWII with the 517th. I was able to go to the reunion you had in Colorado when I was 15 (1969, I believe). Dad never would say much about what went on or what he was involved in during the war, but I also know that he was close with several of the other soldiers. I am now married to a wonderful man who is retired from the USCG -- Let's all keep our soldiers, past, present & future in our hearts & prayers.
