Dear
Sir,
I would like to inform you
that my beloved grandfather, Paul A. Smith Jr., passed away the morning of
June 7 at eighty-four years of age in Atlanta, GA. He was a proud member
of the 517th serving in HQ 1st Medical. I grew up marveled by my
grandfather's courage and experiences in the 517th. As a child I rummaged
through his memorabilia and oftentimes found myself adorned
with 517th pins, pendants, and patches.
My grandfather was the
greatest man I've ever known. I have no doubt that his experiences
with the 517th helped define his life. He exhibited a profound loyalty to
family and friends that I doubt will be rivaled by any man I know from this
point forward. My grandfather will be missed dearly by all of his four
children, eight grandchildren, and by my lovely grandmother Betty Smith.
Please offer your condolences to Betty at 3863 North Stratford Rd., Atlanta, GA
30342.
Thank you so very much for
your prayers and support. God Bless, Carter Coe.

Larry Zickefosse's letter
needs correction. The 506 preceded the 517.
In fact I brought the
enlisted cadre from the 596 to the 517 and the
506 jumped in Normandy before
we saw action in Italy.

As soon as I sent that I remembered he was in the 1st Battalion.
Thanks for
the roster, Ben. what's the difference in the PRCT and the PIR?
I never heard Daddy talk about the Battling Buzzards just the Screaming
Eagles. He spoke of a farmhouse in Belgium that was such a beautiful area he
wished he could have gone back after the war.
My sister has all the pictures from my parents' home. She lives near
Atlanta. I'm in the New Orleans area.
I so appreciate your help.
Sincerely,
Diane
