I give thanks to God, as a living survivor of Omaha Beach, Medical Detachment, 16th. Infantry, 1st Infantry Division, I am humbled by the tremendous sacrifices and service by all who stormed the beaches of Normandy on D-Day. May God bless the memory of all who gave their lives that day, and all...
Super job you did on the bio record of my father. Thanks for all of this. I feel the work you do here is so very important,as it is a part of history,and we hope we never have to revisit it, but at the same time we must pay homage to those who fought and died, and those who survived such perils....
I enjoyed the lesson of history. It is good to keep to keep these memories alive. I had a brother in the 44 div. in that area. Thank You. Annie Phillips
I did not think I would have the time to write a recommendation for Fred this week because I have my recital coming up on Sunday Dec 4... However I started to look at one of the videos that he put music on... and it was AMAZING... Previously I watched a war video with his music... and it was...
Fred, Thanks so much. You really went out of your way to help me try to find some answers. I can't tell you how much that means to me. So thank you and God bless.
I can't find the words to say how I appreciate your message. I'l make all I can to get the more about my uncle. When he found, for the first time after the war, someone who wanted to listen to him, he was so happy. He told me so very few. When I told him I would be honored to write his story, his...
I appreciate your service of bringing this all to people searching- I know from my own research records are not cheap! I purchased what I could from a researcher in St. Louis and did get some unit rosters payrolls and the morning report where Ray was listed MIA. So whatever created your passion...
Dear Fred, I am very moved. Thankyou. He died when I was 17 and I still miss him dreadfully. It will take a little while for me to decide what to send - but I am thrilled to be able to honour him. Thanks so much
I would very much to know if any one remembers my second uncle Dr. Harold Burch Riser who was present at D-day, sorry have no details as to where or when but was taking care of injuries from D-Day. And he was never able to talk about any of his experiences. Must have been terrible. I am so...
Please accept my sincere thanks for helping me get the existance of this unit xxxx on the map its just a shame that most of those involved will probably never see what you have done. If I can even be of assistance to you in getting other Units recognised, then please feel free to call upon me. I...
Great site by the way. I am pleased that sites such as yours keep alive the memory of the people involved in this world conflict. I am amazed that young men achieved so much in what was, for many of them, such a short life.
I am amazed at your work for this History project. I am currently working of the story of a Canadian Field Artillery Regiment and like to connect with you to share information. I have read the 'Music Back to Normandy' page filled with passion!! I have questions related to our project for the 12th...
My friend, Fred Vogels, a brilliant musician based in Amsterdam, is working on Back to Normandy, a site he create to collate stories on World War 2 -- the families of the soldiers have been very helpful. Do visit his site. This is a brilliant story for media, friends. Hope someone writes about it...
