One of my professors was Steven Ambrose. I am working on projects to show people how soldiers like your father saved our country from the evil empire of NAZI Germany, and the Empire of Japan. Send me your physical adress or P.O. Box, and I will send you the project. It is a poster of famous 101st. airborne heros from WW11 to Vietnam to the Middle East. I do not know your political views, but, from what my studies have shown me, personally, I think Lt. Colonel and Florida Representative Allen West is someone who would make a great president. Please understand, I am not someone who has anything to do with Colonel West professionally. However, I would urge you to Google his history. You will hopefully understand, he is a man not unlike your Father. If you want me to send the project, out of respect for your Dad, reply to my E-Mail. His legacy is more valuable than you could ever believe. Regards, Ray Wentworth. wentworth ray@gmail.com (My daughter is in the Navy at Pearl.) I am very proud of her.

We've been looking for it for years! The solder to the left of the flag holder in this picture was my grandfather Leo Dubuc.

He sold coins and jewelry at the Golden Gate Motor Inn.I collected coins and that's how we met. I recall that I went to your house with my dad for some reason and Mike showed us that picture and pointed himself out. He didn't say much about what happened over there, but I remember feeling privileged to have seen it. Joe, I knew your father when I was a kid in Brooklyn.

He fought in all three wars, his last tour he was command sergeant major of the 173rd 2nd of the 503 Vietnam. He had combat jumps in Korea and Vietnam as well. If you want to talk please email me. I'm very curious if we are talking about the same man. Hello my grandfather is Jack Dixon.

All I can say is that the man on his right (your left) and just behind him was my father, Michael Luongo from Brooklyn, NY. I'm sorry to hear that Mr. Flanagan has passed away, my Dad did too in 1990. My family has some original copies of the photo which were placed in movie theaters during WWII and an original front page newspaper clipping. This article has told us more than we ever knew about it as Dad didn't speak often about the war. Please know that I'm very greateful to Mr. Flanagan for filling me in.
