Venneman, from Chillicothe, Missouri was very good friends with a Thomas Skaggs. They were both in the 14th Armored Division, but were separated. Dad was injured on January 13th and shipped to a hospital in England. My Dad has had me do a search for his friend, and I just came across this letter while doing research for my daughter on World War II. Is it possible that your father was my Dad's friend. I just read to him what you wrote and it saddened him. I look forward to hearing from you! Thanks very much, Tamera Hi Steven,

He talked non at all about the war until desert storm. Then out of the blue he came to my house and told me several stories. He was a light machine gunner and commaned the platoon on times when the Lt was killed. He told me I was named after one of his buddys. If anybody knows of him or some other war details of co.

I'm hoping maybe your father can help me. His name was Edward M. Kennedy, he was a second Lieutenant in the 42nd Infantry. 222d company K When he cam back from Germany he told my mom, his little sister about the liberation of the concentration camp.. To my knowledge it was the only time he spoke of it...my mother remembers few very gruesome details. My Uncle died a few years back and took his memories of Germany with him. Neither my mother or his own children ever heard about what happened in Germany outside of a small article regarding his receiving the Silver Star. Last week I was visiting my Mom and she handed me a box of jewelry. It was jewelry that my uncle Ed had collected in Germany and he gave it all to her. She in turn passed it on to me and asked me to find out anything I could about it.. Outside of his actions in Furth, Germany I know little else about my Uncle. I would like to find out anything else that I can about him if possible. I appreciate any information you can give me. Teresa Slack I am looking for any information about my Uncle.
