Dear Bob and Ben, members and sympathisants of the 517th PRCT,
 
About 65 years ago the 517th PRCT fought bravely for our freedom, actions that shall never be forgotten not in the U.S. not here in Belgium. By this way, I wish to thank all the members of the 517th . Would also express many thanks to those who are assisting me with my research about the Soy-Hotton area. What started as a small interest has become a real passion.

 

Wish all of you the very best, a merry Christmas and a prosperous 2010!

Dieter Laes, Belgium

 Merry Christmas to all of you and your Families!

Hi Ben and Bob,
        I would like to wish a Merry Christmas to the 517th family and all of our friends in Europe. I hope to someday make it there and see where my father fought with the Germans. I am thankful that it ended the way that it did and that he was able to come home and start a family. The pictures that were taken from this years trip were beautiful. I received the movie" A cut above" and sure did enjoy it. I watched it with my Mom. My brother wasn't there but I did get a copy for him. He will appreciate it and maybe get to know some of the characters that I know. I will try to bring him to the next reunion. He is a Vietnam veteran! I was too ugly to take, and my draft card number was too high. God Bless all of my friends and I wish you all a very warm Merry Christmas and a Happy New year. I don't want to lose any of you this year so Leo, stop jumping out of planes! Merry Christmas everyone!
