Oh I am very pleased. Can't wait to meet him. Thanks Joe.
Oh btw, I will do this formally soon, but I want to know if I have your permission to use your stories in relation to my book. I am looking to add some quotes, etc. from the divisions that also fought alongside my father's unit and the other engineering units of VI Corps. I think it would be a nice touch. I am hoping that you and the others will say yes. 
Please say hi to Russ for me and if you get the chance, also ask him if he would allow me to also use his stories in my book.
Thanks so much.

dont want forgotten.
I'm delighted my dear. The more personal history the better as far as I'm concerned. Not only does it preserve history, but makes for better reading. It gives life to a book when there are real men behind the words.

That's great! We will give RoqueRJiojas the warmest welcome!

God bless those heroes who suffered and died, for plain folks, like you and me.
War is a crime. Ask the infantry and ask the dead.
Hi Roque; Better late than never to welcome you to the GREATEST LITTLE WEB IN AMERICA. As you get further into it, you will come to realize what a "dynamo" this little four **** gal is. No phony balony here.
Keep those "experiences" coming. And when Mare finally gets her book into print , I only hope we are in good enough shape to lift it. I envision it to be slightly bigger than this years Federal Budget.
Thanks to you and others who were there when we needed you.
