Re: Intro from the son of a WWII Ranger
Welcome aboard Sir!
Met a few of my 2d batt forebears in 2007 also. When the new D Co was stood up in late 2007 we tried to find original D Co (read WW2) Rangers to represent to make a live link between the "then & now" warriors. Too bad we didn't know you then.
Thank you for sharing this primary document!

Awesome post from your fathers diary. Are you able to post anymore?

It is better to be violent, if there is violence in our hearts, than to put on the cloak of nonviolence to cover impotence.
