I am not sure I have the correct page but thought I would add information I have located about my Great Uncle Robert L Hasson. He was injuried during the Campaign of Normandy European Theater of Operations on 13 August 1944. He was listed as Hq Co 1st Bn 175th Regt Trans Sgt 813. I do have a telegram that states "regret to inform you your son was seriously wounded in action thirteen August in France until new address is received address mail for him quote Sergeant Robert L Hasson Serial number (hospitalized) central postal directory APO 640 C/O postmaster New York New York unquote you will be advised as reports of condition are received=J A Ulio The Adjutant General.
If any could provided any other information I would be grateful or direct me to the correct sight if this is not it. Thank You for taking the time to put this site together. I maybe contacted via email at mimi6304@gmail.com or Susan Price 1100 Lapidum Rd Havre de Grace MD 21078. Thank You

My name is Bill Lockhart and my wife is Jennifer. Until recently he would not open up about WWII to anyone in his family and because I am a veteran myself he is starting to tell me things he never told his own children or grandchildren. His name is PFC Earl V Carey and he is 95 and still walks 2 miles a day. For my wife's family I am trying to find out as much information on him as possible, he recalled to me the other day at being on the hill above Saint Lo, France and calling in air strikes and watching the destruction as the town was leveled. Any and all information would be greatly appreciated because I would and his family would like to know.
email: wmbilll@gmail.com (that email has 3 l's not 2)
or
cell: 816-651-8815
thank you
Bill Lockhart

I was recently doing some family tree research and found my father's discharge papers from the 134th Infantry, Nebraska National Guard. He was a Corporal and served from July 2, 1935 to July 3, 1936. I also have a copy of his WWII draft card dated Oct.16, 1940. When WWII broke out he tried to re-enlist but they wouldn't take him because he had developed a hernia. They didn't want to repair it and he didn't have the money. To support he war effort, he found a job with a company called Vultee Aircraft Corporation and worked on experimental airplanes. He passed away June 2, 2007 at age 98, and never talked about what he did at Vultee. I decided to look up the 134th on-line and see what the history of the regiment was. Quite impressive.

RE: PVT. John F. Hinton, 36989006, Co. C, 134th INF; Final Report
PVT. Hinton was wounded and captured, spending the remainder of the war in Europe in Feldstammlager XVIIA. He was liberated from a stranded POW train in late April, 1945 and repatriated via Camp Lucky Strike, Le Havre, France.
He was reunited with his wife and two small daughters shortly thereafter in Portageville, MO, also making the acquaintance of his son, John R. Hinton, born on Jan. 31 1945. Ironically, he, himself, signed for the telegram informing his wife that he had been erroneously listed as killed-in-action and had been, in fact, a POW, and would be returning home ASAP. He was not amused.
VJ-Day found him as a PFC (acting-SGT) training troops designated for the invasion of Japan. He was overjoyed to be excused from duty in the PTO, and readily agreed to be discharged in late August, 1945.
He returned to civilian life in Southeast Missouri farming and working at highway construction. Another daughter was born in 1947, but died in infancy.
In 1953 he moved to St. Louis and took advantage of the GI Bill to learn sheetmetal smithing.
He was hired later that year by the McDonnell Aircraft Corporation, where he spent the remainder of his working life. He was involved in Projects Mercury, Gemini, and Sky Lab, being acknowledged by NASA as one of the pioneers of American Manned Space Flight. He also found time to father another son in 1956, myself.
Dad was critically injured in a traffic accident in 1985. He finally succumbed to his injuries ten years later, dying on May 16th 1995. He was laid to rest in the cemetery in Hanson, KY, with full military honors including, appropriately, a formal escort from the 101st Airborne Division.
He was joined by his wife, Anna, in 2002.
If anyone remembers him, or remembers hearing of him, please contact me via the "message" application provided. I only remember one full name from his recollections: Dale Hughs, also of Co. C, 134th INF. I believe PVT. Hughes was also wounded and captured in the same engagement as my Father. I would love to hear news of him.

Thanks for your continued work on this site. I found several documents listing my dad, Florence N. Niebur (134th Regiment, Co C), including a morning report listing his promotion to a squad leader, and another for Aug. 1 when he was wounded.
All he ever told me about his time in France was that he was glad that he came home alive, and that I should be glad he did too.

Many thanks to Pfc. D'Alessandris' nephew, David D'Alessandris, for sharing pictures and information. My grandfather, John Chehovits, recently passed away. Seeing him in photos from Pfc. D'Alessandris' album was simply amazing. We heard a few stories from my grandfather, but these details put it all together. We are grateful for the effort made to provide this website.

So happy to find this page. My father was EW Pettit, Jr. and a member of this outfit. Would be interested in some of the stories as my dad wouldn't talk much about it. Know the Bulge was horrible but he survived the war and lived to be 80 years old. He was forever changed by this war as I'm sure were most.
Thank you for anything you can share for our family stories.

Thanks so much for these morning reports as they give me an idea of my cousin's (Jerome A. Yaeger) service duty, how his unit fought through France and into Belgium. As the unit moved so did his grade from PVT. to PFC. to SGT. until he was wounded, captured and retaken by American forces. Thanks so much, Roberta.

My father was killed many years ago by a drunk driver. I would like to know more about him. Did anyone know my father in company C or have any stories to tell about what he might have experienced at the Battle of the Bulge?
