Ben,
The Curtis family expresses their deepest sympathies at the
passing of Trooper Walter T. Ammermon. I was touched to hear he and his
son Mike attended the Salt Lake City Reunion, and I hope they both had a great
time here. Tim and I both remember our last reunion with our Dad in
Washington, D.C. before he passed. It will always be a found memory for us
and we will always be grateful to Claire Giblin for hosting that
reunion. During the Salt Lake Reunion I remember seeing most
of the troopers, but I cant place Mike or his Dad faces right now. If Mike
has a picture of he and his Dad at the Salt Lake reunion I sure would like to
see it posted here on mailcall. All our best to he and his
family.
Also, I think it is important that the Auxiliary continues to move
forward to host National Reunions every year so the sons, daughters, relatives,
and friends can enjoy being with their Dads at a reunion. As a son of a
trooper these reunions with my Dad will always be in my heart and soul
forever.
Lory V. Curtis, son of Bud Curtis, HQ, 1st BN

I am looking for a 517th combat patch for my fathers Class-A coat.
It will
be put in a glass case at the local armory. I have just about
all his
medals. It should look pretty nice when completed. He was
a member of
Headquarters Company. I recently ran on to some of his
pictures.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
