My father-in-law, Charles A Rahing, 37 619 022 (Sergeant - BTRY C 575th AAA AW BN SP 11th ARMD DIV) and was awarded the Purple Heart for wounds received in action on January, 8th 1945 in Bastogne, Belgium. Dad is no longer alive, but my family would like to honor his memory by learning more about where he served and who he served with.
We have some pictures of Dad (first row center) and would love to share them on the website if it is appropriate. Please let me know how we can find out more about Battery C and where they served.
Sincerely,
Dennis Ochterbeck |
| My father was Roy Franklin McGinnis - he just passed 10-30-2005 at the age of 92.
I was so very proud of my father as an officer and a loving father that I would love to obtain the monthly issue that is sent out. Here are photos of my father and the information regarding his passing.
I hope someone recognizes my fathers friend Rosser from Centerville, IN.
