Jeanne Smith

Hello Ben:
 
My name is Jeanne Smith and my Dad, Walter W. Smith, was a member of the
517th parachute combat team in WWII.  I would like to make a donation in his
name for a Christmas gift this year.  He currently receives your emails and
thoroughly enjoys your articles and stories.  Is there a 517th site that I could make
a donation?  Any help you could give me would be appreciated.
 
Thanks in advance for your help.
 
Jeanne
Good Morning Ben:
 
Thanks so much for your reply.  I will get the check to Leo this week.  It would be fine for you to make mention in your monthly Mail Call newsletter.  Dad can no longer read very well due to his macular degeneration, however my Mother relays the information in the newsletter to him.
Thanks again for all your help and I wish you and your family a very Happy Holiday.

I recently started doing a family tree.  I was talking with my mother last night and she told me that her mother's brother was killed in WWII.  I noticed that you received a couple of different e-mails about my great-uncle.  I am just looking for any information or if you can get me in touch with anyone that has any information on him would be great.  Thank you in advance for any information you can help me with.
