Dick Seitz (General Richard Seitz " Call me Dick")

To my 517th Parachute Combat Team Comrades.  As we approach this Memorial Day I want to join with all Americans in thanking and paying tribute to the fine men of the 517th Combat Team and other  veterans of World War 2 for your dedicated service to our great country.  Your magnificent contribution helped to secure the freedom all Americans so proudly enjoy today.  I share with each of you and your wonderful families tremendous  pride in the service of all the men of the great 517th Combat Team.  God bless each of you this Memorial Day and every day.  517th Airborne all the way!  Dick Seitz

Subject: 517th Mascot

On the website under 517th Photos there is a shot of the 517th Mascot at Camp Toccoa. While I see that it's a lion I'm not sure if it's the same one as in the attached photo. My Dad (Harry Riddle) served with the 517th in WWII. Then he went on to serve with the 11th Airborne - 511th A.I.R. in Korea. The attached photo cam from a "yearbook" I have on that regiment. "Squeaky" was the regimental mascot. Any chance it was the same lion that served with the 517th?

Hello Bill,
 
I doubt that it is the same lion, but if anyone knows it should be you.

Do you know of anyone who could make  a copy of the photo taken of the 3rd
Battalion Group in the Pulaski Conference Room in Savannah?  I'd be very
happy to pay for the process and shipping.

Best wishes,  John Pastalenic, H Co.

Bob, I still have my American Flag armband on my original jump jacket.
Although, is is slightly battered and torn. Repaired by a present Army
20th Airborne Group paratrooper, Capt. Charles Benner.
