Hi Ben,

The countdown also shows zero time to make reservations for the hotel in Portland.  We have been given a new date of June 25th.  So people........you still have time to get reservations for the hotel.....without competition with the general public. Time is running out for guaranteed availability.........until the end of the day June 25th..........come and get it !!!!!

Dear Ben,
 
I was just writing to ask the veterans here in the group if any of them would be willing to email me and talk of their experiences. It's for a school term paper, and I thought it'd get it out there.
 
Thanks!
Gabe

David,
 
I posted the telegram and the v card to the website.  thanks.   http://517prct.org/photos/photos.htm
 
I am not sure if the group needs to see all of the letters.  Maybe if you pick one of two, I could post them as examples.
 
Thanks again.

I found this and many other letters and documents recently.  I already submitted a photo of Pvt. Robert A. Harp a couple of years ago.  You can put this telegram with that.  He was a member of HQ Co. 2nd Bn.  He was my great-uncle.  I have over 30 letters to home and the book detailing the units history with a handwritten dedication to my great-uncle from and 81 mm mortar platoon as well.  Let me know if you would be interested.
