Great site, I would like to hear from anyone who served with my dad, Leo Aragon. He died in 1970 as a result of his heavy drinking, trying to deal with his WWII experience. I have his badge -two stars. Probably Market Garden and Varsity. Thanks much.

Page, he served in the 194th GLI PIR INF/ 17th Airborne division and he died on 24th of march 1945 at Kleve (Germany). Can anyone tell me more about James Page? Any information is very welcome.

Thank you.

Hi,
I am responding to the post about Robert Baldwin and "the drop zone". Robert, was my grandfather. He died in 2003. If you want any information please email me off topic. jessical.brooks@hotmail.com. I believe the original paintings are in a museum in Ft Benning, Georgia. I will find out for you. He was very dear to all of us. Thanks for remembering him.
