Trying to send since 9;00 Am PCT
Attempt to catch up with Mail received. May
have to send out several Mail Calls to include all and if the computer
grinch allows it. It's inevitable that I will miss out on some I have received
much mail from our friends in France and Belgium with Christmas good wishes. May
not be able to include all the cards.
Please send links when
possible. It saves me for searching for the link and saves space on Mail
Call.
Donations for whatever
program involving the 517th should be sent to our treasurer Leo Dean at 14
Stonehenge Lane, Albany 12203
Please let
me know if you want to receive Mail Calls or if you have a problem
receiving them. You can always read back

Ben,
I am finally back on track and email. You knew I was back in
grammar school again? In respect to your email problems, I checked
back mail and I found the following:
Mail Call "problems solved" No number Dec 22
Test "re 1941" No number Dec 22
1921 22
"problem sending" No number Dec19
1941 19
I know "yo all" worry about the email system (which we have little
control of whether it does what it is supposed to do or not). Just
keep in mind at the receiving end, we all appreciate every thing that
you are able to put in. We all apologize for the troubles we cause
you.
From all of us, another "Thank You" for your and all the Barrett's
efforts. You and the Barrett's are the pulse and lifeblood of the
"survivors" of the 517th vets and Association members.
A Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all. God Bless
Gene Frice, (Survivor) F Company

Merry Christmas to all. Here in Jacksonville it's raining but nice
and warm. This forward was on my computer today (Christmas). I
watched it and just had to send it on before I looked at the other
messages. To me it is amazing how the foreign people still
remember and honor those of us that faugh in the Battle of the Bulge. While this short
film is of a different unit then the 517 they were also part of our great Army
and the reason that we speak English
today.
