From: Duncan, OK
E-mail: joecombest@yahoo.com 		My dad Ben Combest was in G company. I just discovered an old scrap book that belonged to him with some pictures from the war. I would like to get them on this site so hopefully someone will recognize some of the guys in the pictures. How do I get them published on this site?

Name: Joe Ruddy
From: Scranton, PA
E-mail: jpruddy@yahoo.com 		My father's cousin Francis J. Ruddy Jr. belonged to Company A, 1st Bat., 517th PIR. Fran was born in Scranton, PA, and proudly served in the US Army for 32 years. I've been trying to piece together a history of Fran's career starting with the great information on this website. After WWII, Fran served in Korea (187th Regimental Combat Team) and served with the Special Forces during the period of the Vietnam War.

Name: Hillary
From: Wisconsin
E-mail: aussiesrule09@live.com 		Cpl Daniel Fisher (HQ Co. 1st Battalion) is my grandma's brother. "Uncle Dan" as he's referred to here. My grandma is 93 years old and going strong. Dan and my grandma look so much alike- probably the most similar of all their siblings. She still has the newspaper clipping of when Dan's death was announced in the local newspaper. Thanks for maintaining this website and thank you to all Veterans for your service.

E-mail: rhartsock1967@hotmail.com 		My grandfather, Robert Hartsock, is listed on his headstone as a member of Co. I, 517th Par. Inf during WWII, and the army lists him as serving from 1943 to 1946 being discharge as a member of the 82nd AB. Would like to know more about his service from anyone who might have information. Thanks, Robert Hartsock.

If any of you are still in touch with the boys at the reunions, let them know he is securing the DZ with the rest of them in heaven.
