14 April 2011, Elmer I. Hansen passed away in his home. He passed in his sleep at peace with his God and the world. He goes to join his wife Verla and son Tom who preceeded him in death. He served in Company C 55th AIB. He was a TSGT and eventuallly a Master SGT before his discharge. He was a past President of the 11th AD Association. We talked from time to time about the Division and it's accomplishments during World War II. He was a proud member of the the 11th AD. He was my uncle and one of the main reasons I spent 41 years in the military. He was my hero. He will be missed by all of our family and his many friends. God Bless the Soldiers that served in the 11th.
