Mr.
Barrett,
I had sent pictures to
you last week that you could not open.
I sent them to others who had the same problem, so I’m sending them in a
different format.
Thanks

How I found the 517th page: From a search engine
Comments: My dad was in the 517th. His name was Sgt William (Bill or Willy) E. Wilhoit. He was inducted at Ft. Benjamin Harrison Ind. Mar 3 43. I have a small blue card with the heading of "BATTLING BUZZARDS" of the 517th Parachute Combat Team. It states that he served in the European Theater from 5/44 to 3/45 Co. "A". Anyone remember him? He was wounded in Bergstein Germany 2/8/45. He was from Rochester, IN. He passed away in Mar.'90. Would love to hear from you. Please contact me at sjwilhoit@insightbb.com. Thank You, Jeff Wilhoit Lafayette, Indiana

Ben,
Yes, please add me to the Mail Call. I have
sent three emails since I signed and one hit from the grandson of
Wayne Eby. I will be sending him some pictures that I have of Wayne. He was
wounded the same day Dad was. I am particularly interested in hearing from Gene
"Zoot" Snyder who seems to be active in the unit.
Thank you so much for doing this as there are a lot of
blanks in Dad's WWII history. I have lots of pictures and names. Dad was
good about making notes.

Hello Howard and Ben,
I saw in the Static Line some names of the 517th that had paid their dues, so I sent them invitations to the Reunion. I was wondering if either of you knew a Carl Schoening that was in 3rd HQ. I sent him an invitation and his wife wrote back that he passed away on March 2, 2005. He had wanted to come to the Reunion to see if any of his buddies would be attending. When I hear back from you, I will write up a little note that his wife sent to me and put it in Mail Call.
