Lory and his incredible and energetic team are preparing for our next reunion: Salt Lake City net month. I know I was late getting my registration in, but we're all looking forward to honoring our vets on their 65th anniversary!
I have also been in contact with Rob McDonald. We are planning to screen the initial version of the film project at Salt Lake. And by the way - I just talked to Leo Dean a day or two ago. He did Jump #123 at sunset the other day! Looking forward to Salt Lake! Make your plans today - there is still time! What are you waiting for?
Hugs and love to my favorite vets -

Dear Rob,
I tried unsuccessfully to review the attachments yesterday and waited to see if I could do it today with the same unsuccessful results. Can you send it some other way?
I am hoping you can keep the cameras rolling through August and capture some of the 2009 Southern France visits, reenactments, celebrations and museum tours.
There are some things that make a unit unique, interesting and newsworthy. Ours are that many do not know there was a second airborne invasion of France, the pushing of the Germans all the way from the jump zone back into Italy where we were on the lines for almost 100 days without relief, taking all that picturesque Riviera and Maritime Alps territory with its interesting little mountain top villages, going all the way north in the 40&8s for the "winter offensive" just in time to be thrown in to turn the bulge toward Antwerp into a bulge headed for Berlin, The First Bn. assistance in holding General Rose's 3rd Armored Division line, the 3rd Bn. retaking Manhay in the early hours of December 27, 1944 (the first territory retaken from the Nazis after the bulge hit), and the 2nd Bn. clearing the way for the 7th Armored Division to retake St. Vith. These are the highlights with many battles in between.
You have a most interesting and challenging project and we all cheer you on in it.
