He said he was a paratrooper in the 82nd airborne during wwII. If anyone knows anything about him ie. Units, dates, or jumps please contact me. I'd like to gather some info on him before I talk to him. Thanks Charlie I just met a man that lives in Hot Springs, AR, his name is James Thompson.

Eugene C. "Johnny" Johnson was in the 82nd at Normandy. Dropped 17 miles behind the front and had to get his men and their equipment out of there. He only told me the story once and didn't give many details but it sounds like it was St. Mere-Eglise. Does anyone remember him? My father Sgt. Eugene C. "Johnny" Johnson was in the 82nd at Normandy.

He saw a lot of combat. He is still alive and still talks about his life in the service of his country. He remembers shooting at someone in a church tower and a friend of ours was in that city 2 years ago and believes the bullet holes are still there. I am looking for pictures of his regiment and anyone who had family serving with him. It would make his day. My dad was in the 325th Glider Infantry Regiment in H Company with the 82nd.

Longcrier Fri, 27 Nov 2009 09:20:18 +0000 #comment-150885 I really enjoyed reading the article on Leonard Rosen. I'm pretty sure that my dad, Pvt. Robert H. Longcrier was in the same unit along with his high school buddies Mike Chester, Ran Adams, Claude & Curt Henley, (all of Selma, AL). He spoke of North Africa, Gen Gavin and St. Mere Eglise, and I have several items from Nijmegen, Holland that he brought back. He didn't talk much about the war but was very proud of his sevice and the 82d Airborne. I was almost 2 1/2 years old before he saw me for the first time. He was a successful business man in Montgomery, AL and raised me and my sister Kay with my mother Doris, his high school sweetheart. After seeing me through Viet Nam and losing my mother and my sister to Cancer, he took his own life at her gravesite on Mar 19, 1987 at age 65. They are all "Somewhere over the rainbow".
