Copeland, was wounded in the Huertgen Forrest near the village of Zweifall on October 11, 1944. He was with the 9th Infantry Division and a light machine gunner I think the 39th but I don't know for sure. He was from Creighton, Nebraska.He was 33 years old when he was drafted as a private so he was almost a father figure to the 17-18 year olds.. He was awarded a purple heart and a bronze star. Does anyone remember him? nltooley@sbcglobal.net My father, Leslie B. Copeland, was wounded in the Huertgen Forrest near the village of Zweifall on October 11, 1944.

Smith from Toledo ohio, joined the 9th infantry in Casablanca and stayed through the end of the war. He was in 8 major campaigns including Battle of the Bulge, Bridge at Rimagen, Utah Beach. He was always very quiet about his service during WWII and we have just recently begun to get piece of stories. He will be 90 end of October and my sister, brother and I are in process of trying to pull some of this together for that celebration. Dad re-inlisted after the war serving through Korea and Vietnam, retiring in the mid-60's. Anyone who remembers him or stores about him, any unit stories or information, all contact will be appreciated. My father, Clarence C.
