Subject: LESTER EUGENE HYMAN - 596TH
PARATROOPER ENGINEER COMBAT COMPANY
GENTLEMEN:
PLEASE FIND ATTACHED PICTURES OF MY FATHER PFC LESTER EUGENE (GENE) HYMAN. HE IS FROM LOGANSPORT, IN. I WOULD LIKE FOR YOU TO POST THEM TO THE WEBSITE IN HONOR OF HIS SERVICE. I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN INTERESTED IN MY DAD’S MILITARY SERVICE AND SOME OF THE STORIES THAT HE TOLD ME. I AM CURRENTLY WORKING ON PUTTING TOGETHER A SHADOW BOX OF HIS MILITARY MEMORABILIA. DAD DIED BACK IN AUGUST OF 2000. SINCE THEN I HAVE CARED FOR HIS MILITARY ITEMS AND PICTURES. JUST RECENTLY I DISCOVERED THIS WEBSITE AND WANT TO CONTRIBUTE ANY INFORMATION I CAN.
I AM HOPING THAT THERE ARE STILL SEVERAL MEN ALIVE FROM THE 596TH THAT REMEMBER HIM AND ARE WELCOMED TO EMAIL ME ABOUT DAD. IT WOULD BE AN HONOR TO HEAR FROM THEM.
SINCERELY,
JEFF A. HYMAN
YES SIR: I WOULD VERY MUCH LIKE TO HEAR FROM COMPANY COMMANDER BOB DALRYMPLE AND OTHERS.
THANK YOU SO MUCH.

My grandfather, Virgil F. Dunlevy, was a
Sergeant in the 517th paratroopers
division, 82nd Airborne Infantry. I am just
starting to look into his
military history. Any help would be greatly
appreciated. He passed away in
1970, at the age of 50, in Dayton, Ohio.
