Hello,

You've got the numbers off again on the last
few. The last one should have been 1105 not 1005.

Hello Ben,
I was wondering, with the passing of my Uncle Floyd
Polk, while I have continued to read mail call with great pleasure in how you
all keep in touch. Please know that the younger family members do greatly
appreciate the memories you all share of your own and those of our loved ones. I
have noticed and have been told that Floyd was one of the last surviving Co D
men. I have also noticed that Mr Bob Cooper signs off Co D. Are there any others
to your knowledge. May you please pass on Mr. Coopers email address to me. I was
wondering other then Floyd if any other Troopers have any memory of my Uncle
Danny Ogniewski KIA 11/4/44 Sospel, France. Uncle Floyd shared many memories of
Co D with me and many memories of Danny. I will truly miss Floyd as I have
thought of him daily since his passing. I read with regret the passing notices
you post all to frequently. Your generation was truly the greatest and I will
promise to forward what I have learned from all of you on to my 10 year old son
and all others that will listen. I savor my freedom and thank all of you for
it!
Sincerely Daniel Curtis

I see information on this mail call
that refers to the 517th
returning to Le Muy in 2007. If this is true I
sure would like some more
information so I can start planning the trip for my
Dad and I.

Note to Jean-Loup Gassend: Thank you for your
compliment. I really did not know every man in the 517th, but I can tell
you someone who should know. Joe Calder, our 3rd Bn. S-4 should know
James_______________, and if he does not, he should know someone who does.
Joe, can you respond by filling in the blank?? Howard Hensleigh

Ben (don't know if you want to post this or not) In the 60s I
had
finished writing of my WW II experiences and received a letter from a
guy
(same last name as one of our highest ranking Officers in Toccoa) But
I
am sure not he asking for any stories of my combat experiences,, (so
he
could write a book) I sent him my story and about 30 days later
received
a Thank-You note from him , however he commented that he
did not believe
a lot of my story???? He admitted to being a
non-combatant, and had
begged me for my experiences, So I wrote back to
him ,Sir you have a lot
of gall, not having experienced any Combat and the
problems that can be
encountered, and yet can past your own opinion on what
should be in ones
experiences in combat???? To bad, with your rank and
you choose to try
and make money on someone else combat experiences,
Tom McAvoy (See you
in Portland Ben)

According to the weather reports, it is my understanding that

these men and women the strength they need to prevail.

this one.....Let us pray.

it...
Please send this on after a short prayer.
Pray for our soldiers...
Prayer
"Lord, hold our troops in
your loving hands. Protect them as they protect us. Bless them and
their families for the selfless acts they perform for us in our time of
need I ask this in the name of Jesus, our Lord and Savior.
Amen."
Prayer Request: When you receive this, please stop for a
moment and say a prayer for our troops around the world.

one!!!!
