Thanks to everyone who has had a part in putting this site together. My father, William T. Harris, served in the 11th Armored during WWII. This site has a close-up photo of him when he was a young lieutenant, and I had not ever seen that photo before. An amazing feeling to see for the first time!

My dad passed away peacefully in 2001 at age 83, and I'm thankful everyday for the sacrifices all of the veterans like him made.

If anyone out there knew (or knew of) my dad, I'd love to hear from you. Many of the names in the postings to the guestbook here sound familiar to me from my father's stories (I made audio tapes in 1996 of his war years, but as I write this I haven't listened to them in several years). But in any case, seeing that picture was just wonderful. Thanks to those who keep the website in such fine form.
