Hello,
 
I would like to take this opportunity to say:
I APPRECIATE ALL OF THE MEN OF THE 517.
THANK YOU FOR THE MANY SACRIFICES YOU MADE SO THAT WE ARE ABLE TO LIVE THE GREAT LIFE THAT WE LIVE IN THIS GREAT COUNTRY.
I grew up as a military brat, and my husband works for
the government and we travel all over the world, and I
know that no other country in the world is as great as
the USA.  My thanks again to all of the great men who
made this country so great.
 
Best regards
 
Becky Martinette (father Maurice White H company 3rd battalion}

Hi Ben...I wrote an article for the local paper on the recent Florida All Airborne Convention we had in Ocala, loaded with lots of photos, in an attempt to reach the many Troopers I know are here in The Villages....but the paper sent out their own reporter and photographer, and this is the result.  Looking forward to meeting you at the Kissimmee convention in Jan.....Phil McSpadden  (Veteran's Day 2003)
