Beautiful letter to John McAuliffe - 87th Inf Div

Walts Daughter · 2009-01-27T11:39:18Z

My buddy John McAuliffe, received this letter. How heartwarming. ====== Dear Mr McAuliffe, Today, Jan. 26th 2009, is the 64th anniversary of the liberation of my hometown, Huldange. As you know it was liberated by the 347th Inf. Rgt. of the 87th Inf. Div. and your unit was probably not far away from it. With gratitude we remember what You and your buddies did for our ancestors back in 1945, while liberating them. I guess you must have plenty of memories going back to that time these days. How was your reenactment event which you visited last week? best wishes and look forward to stay in touch Dan

I also thank the Gentleman who posted my "Autograph" on the Red Ball Express at the Remember Museum of M&M Schmetz. I placed my name there on my visit in Jan. 2000 when I stayed at the Museum for 3 weeks guests of M&M..There isn't much more room for GI signatures on the truck...I will send you a photo of the signing with me in it from my Photo Collection.

John McAuliffe: 87th INF.DIV.

No thanks at all. I was just stunned to see that particular letter here and I knew it was the same John McAuliffe as the autograph which I saw on the truck. It is good to have you here Sir.

Respectfully,

Frank
