My Uncle James E. Pease was in the 517th. Tuesday April 25th he passed from a heart attack in Union, S.C. For many years he has been battling Alzhiemers. He fought a brave fight. Aunt Edith passed away 3/1/2005 for any of you who might have had the pleasure of knowing her. Russ Pease

| Name: 2LT David Jordan From: Shawnee, OK E-mail: david.f.jordan@us.army.mil |
I initially found this site a few years ago as I was researching my great-uncle Pvt. Robert A. Harp who was KIA in Belgium. Since then I have joined the Army myself as a 2LT in the Chaplain Candidate Program. What that means is that I am a reserve soldier while I complete my seminary degree. I leave next week for training at Ft. Jackson. Even though I never met my great uncle, I now feel much more connected to his memory as I begin to serve my country in the U.S. Army. Again, thanks to all of you who continue to honor the living and the fallen among your ranks. HOOAH!

My Great uncle is Casmir Brudzinski. I just had lunch with him today and talked with him about my war (Iraq), his war and the 517th. I am not sure, but I think that he was in B Co (actually whatever company Pvt Biddle was in). He was evacuated from the Bulge on or around 27 DEC 1944 with trench foot after helping a wounded buddy to the company aid station. Does anyone know if there was a unit citation or award for the Regiment given for its actions during the Battle of the Bulge? Uncle Ky (what he goes by) said that he had heard during past reunions that the Regt recieved something, but was not able to track it down. He has no computer so doesn't even know about this site to ask or search around. Anyone have an idea?

Thank you for a wonderful resource. A friend and I are working on a role-playing game to be set during WWII. Our first campaign will follow the 517th, to honor this brave and under-appreciated unit. I am only 24, and I am glad to see websites like this one to preserve the memory of an important time.

I am the second daughter of John R. Gogoleski I just decided to google his name and found it on an award list for individual decorations and Awards. My dad passed on December 20, 2004. He often talked about his time with the 517th. I think it was the best time of his life. Thank you.

My Grandfather, Ted Bowman was in the 517th. I wrote on this site for him awhile back, and those of you who called and wrote to him, I thank you from the bottom of my heart. He enjoyed each and every call, letter, and conversation. Saturday April 28th my grandfather passed away due to complications caused by cancer. Once again, like many years ago, he fought a brave fight. I write this here for thoese of whom who did get to speak to him, share in his knowlage and experiance. He will be missed by so many, but he will always be in our hearts.

I'm trying to hunt down a paratrooper's unit/division as I own his jump jacket. His last name was Pettyjohn. I've looked at the 517th pretty closely through this great website without any luck. If anyone has a roster list from 11th or 13th airborne I'd appreciate any assistance they could provide.
