The Holiday Season is upon us again and I am
frantically preparing to celebrate my family,
the season and just being alive. Today I was
reviewing some of my files and it dawned
upon me that it was 59 years ago that I was
comfortably encamped on a cold hillside just
out of Marseille, France along with the men of
the 253d, 254th and 255th Infantry Regiments
wondering what was to come next.
Unfortunately it wasn't too long before we
found out- the hard way. What an experience
we all had!!
This month's Newsletter will be short and
sweet.
ANNUAL REUNION:
I promise that this is the last time this year that
I will remind you of the next annual reunion of
the 63rd Infantry Division Association to be
held in Falls Church, VA (suburb of
Washington D C) in August 2004. Go to the
Reunion Page for details
