My name is Harlan Huey. 1944-1945, 94th infantry div. A Company 376th inf regiment. I transfered to cannons. I started out in a line company.  The engineers put up a floating bridge crossing the rhine river to get equipment across.  I cannot remember the names of the men I served with other than Baley who was killed with several others. I was supposed to go but I was told to stay back. I have reviewed the names on the 376th who were kia or dow and i don't find Baleys name. If anyone remembers me, or their dad has mentioned my name, i would like to get in touch.

I started out at normandy,  was in England, france, Germany,  battle of the buldge,  Baley is probably spelled incorrect. Don't remember if it was his first name or last or nickname.

A vietnam veteran is helping me try to recapture names and places and battles. as I get into this computer and see the photos and names, I may be able to tell my story and share with all of you a little about the war. this is his email, but he will get me the messages on a daily basis.

Dear Sir,

 My name is Rufus and I am the grandson of Willard Jess Braxton who served in A co. of the 376th  94th.   I was only nine when my grandfather died 15 Dec. 1982.  I have never been able to discuss with him any of the people that he served with or where they were, etc.  I was wondering if you have any information on any of this and if so, if you would be kind enough to share this with me.  I am seeking diligently on anything that I can get my hands on and any help would be greatly appreciated. 

Thank you so much for your time,

Rufus

Please add my Grandfather to your TAPS list PFC James Fred Fulton of the 301st Infantry Company C passed away February 18, 2004. If there is anyone out there from his old unit that remembers him I would gladly like to hear from you. Like most Veteran's he rarely talked about his service but I would like to know what he was like then, and what some of the ribbons that were passed to me were for. I always knew he was a great man but am just now finding out there was a side to him none of us knew. Everything I have found about his time in Europe has been from linking this site and reading the information here, and from a copy of his discharge papers. I have managed to find a few pictures of him and some Army buddies,

I am searching for anyone who might remember, or know of any information on, my Dad, Pfc. Starling E. Sullins.

He was in Company G, 376th Inf. Regt. of the 94th. He was from a little town in NW Georgia, where he lived until he passed away in 1992. But, not before he began trying to tell us some of his experiences during WWII. Communication was difficult since he had suffered two strokes, & also had the beginning stages of Alzheimers. But he was determined at times to try & tell us what he went through. Before he became ill, he never wanted to speak of it. We would just like to know if anyone might remember him, who might like to share any stories that could maybe help "fill in the gaps" of the things he told us". With the medals & patches we have from his uniform, we have determined that his Company & Infantry was in the Third Army under Patton & was involved in the Battle of the Bulge, but he mentioned another battle, with a German town in the name, but not sure which one.

After the war, he was an MP in Company "B" 508 M.P. Battalion & was stationed in Munich Germany, but spent some time in Czechoslovakia.

One of his buddys, that he spoke of often, was a Mr. "Don Corbo", full name, Dominick Corbo Jr, who was from Asbury Park NJ. Would anyone know of Mr. Corbo? 

Any information or stories you might wish to share would be very much appreciated. I would also like to thank the men of the 94th for their courageous service to our wonderful country!

Thank you,

Looking for Info on Wayne D. Scott - Co. K 301st Infantry
Hi my name is Jerry Burke. My uncle Wayne D. Scott served in company K of the 301st Infantry during WWII. He was from Sioux Falls, SD. He passed away a few years ago. I remember asking him about the war when I was quite young. The only story he ever told me was about when he was sweeping a village. He was going door to door. He kicked open a door and was face to face with a German soldier their guns pointing at each other. He said they both turned around and ran.

I have since come to believe that he was in some pretty bad stuff and just didn't want to talk about it. If anybody knew him, or was in the same unit as him, I would love to hear any stories that you could share. It seems that these stories are getting harder to come by. I understand why people don't want to talk about it but I think that you are all real heroes and history needs to know what it was really like.

I'm a Viet Nam era vet. Uncle Wayne was always a hero of mine with or without the war. I have been reading about the war lately and have a need to know first hand just what he had to deal with when he was just coming of age.

God Bless America and the men of the 94th.

Hello, My name is Tom Norris. My father, Henry Norris, served in Co. "D", 301st Infantry Division during WWII. He was a SGT. 

Dad passed away on March 24, 1992 from cancer. He never talked much about his war time memories, but he did mention some of his close friends - Howard Pearce, Bill Walker, and Roy Stumpf. I have had the honor of meeting all three of these men and their families. If anyone has any information about dad, I would be grateful to hear from you. I have a few pictures of dad with other soldiers, and would be glad to e-mail you a copy.

Thanks in advance!

Tom Norris

Howdy,
     I am a 15 year old and I have noticed the lack of respect my generation has for our country's previous veteran's services. On behalf of myself and my generation I would like to thank all of our veterans for their service in WWII, Korean, Vietnam, Gulf War, or just any men who were in uniform. 

Thank you for your service, we may not tell you now, but we are truly grateful!

I am searching for anyone who was in Company B, 319th Engineers, who might know or remember James Major Porter, my father. He was injured in the the battle for Campholtz Woods, a mine exploded and he was blinded. He was rescued by Private First Class Weldon McCormack. I would love to talk to him and thank him for my father's life.
If you were in the 319th, please email me!

I'm looking for someone who might remember my Dad(William R. Van Sant).   His serial # was 32213140.   He passed away in 1997.   I couldn't get him to go to the reunions.   He said he didn't want to stir up the bad memories of combat.   I have sent off the second set of forms to St. Louis to see if they can find his complete record.    I patiently wait.   After reading the history of the 376th Regiment, the history of the 94th Division, and Bill Foley's "Visions From A Foxhole", I believe my Dad might have been in the 376th Regiment, 2nd Battalion, Company E,  3rd Platoon.    He said he was hit by shrapnel in the town of Geizenburg on 8 march 1945 while standing guard outside of a building.  He said that when a mortar landed close-by, he ran into the building for cover.  He said his squad saw that he was hit in the foot(he didn't know it yet), and tackled him, cut off his boot, and treated him.     I was hoping to find a 94ther that might still remember my Dad.   He said he purposely didn't learn anyone's name for the fear of going through anxiety if he happened to see them die in combat.  He probably went by "Bill".   He was from Oceanside, NY.  If anyone has any recollection, please e-mail me.
I'm looking forward to the Memphis reunion!  I plan to bring the motorcycle again. 
Thanks,
Bill Van Sant(Son of William R. Van Sant)

I know my father, Woodrow Edward Garde, known as "Woody", served in the 94th in WW II. His records were lost in the fire in St Louis, MO.

If any of you have suggestions, or ideas how/where to find any info please click here to email me .......Thank you.......Brenda Garde

My father John K. Summers passed away this last January, I have found his captain bars and the patch of the 94th. He came back with the usual stuff but never cared to talk about it that much, any one out there remember him? As the roll call gets smaller it is now up to us to remember them. Thanks Steve Summers

James DeGarmo, my grandfather, served in the 94th  from Jan 16, 1942 through August 1945. 2 1/2 years were spent in Europe and France until he ended up in Czech in 1945. My grandfather has pretty much kept all his stories to himself, which seems to be common in these humble Veteran's. I am just looking to maybe locate some old buddies of his. He has spoken on occasion about two gentlemen named Bert Anelli and Ralph Dagler. If anyone has any information that could help me in my endeavor's I would greatly appreciate it! 

Sincerely,
Jay Rodman

ASTP transfers to the 94th.  I had just finished 13 weeks at Benning, and had Pomona College orders in my hand, when the word came to forget it--y'all are going to the infrantry, which turned out to be the 94th at McCain. 

Fortunously, the huge transfer put the 94th over-strength, so about 2,000 were transferred out.  Some how, I scored high on the Mechanical Aptitude portion of the AGCT at the reception center (didn't give it a thought) and I was sent to Ordnance, then to the ETO 7th Army.

The transfer Benning to McCain was in Feb 1944, if you were caught up in this I would like to hear from you.

Sirs:
My father, Jack Putnam, served in the subject company and I am curious whether anyone has any tidbits to relate.  During my youth he never talked about his days in Europe and has only talked sparringly lately.  He will be 88 shortly and I thought that I could surprise him with some memories, hopefully good ones, from those days.
Thank you.
