Hi to everyone. I'm kinda new to fourms.

Hello everyone. My name is Brenda. We are a very patriotic family, as you can see from my dad's name. I didn't grow up with him. I was born in Dec. 1946 when he was overseas, then when he came home he and my mother seperated after a couple of years. We met again when I was 22 years old, and became very close. I am so fortunate to have gotten to know him. but I don't know much about his service. He was in the Army, and his service papers have as battles and campaigns: "Ardennes Central Europe Northern France Rhineland CO 33 WD 45 as amended." I typed this exactly as it is written on his discharge papers, and as you can see, I don't even know is these should have commas or not. LOL. If any of you served with him or know anything about the battles he was in, I would definitely love to hear from you. He was a Battery B assistant radio operator of an artillery forward observer party and in Luxenbourg in Jan. 1945, according to a citation for receiving the Bronze Star for being injured on the Jan. 25. I'm not sure what else to tell you to identify his group. Just let me know, as I have his paperwork. He was born and raised in Mississippi. My mother and I have always lived in Cartersville, Georgia. He passed away in 2001. I am excited about being part of this forum, but I will tell you, I am VERY inexperienced with posting on forums, so please be patient with me if i goof up. Looking fordward to hearing from you all. Thanks, Brenda

Thanks JagtigerI, glad to be here.

 

Thanks everyone for making me feel welcome. Hope I am typing this in the right place.

 

Thanks Lou. Keep those tips coming. Much appreciated. Brenda
btw, is my username too long?

 

No worries Brenda, this is certainly the place for such discussion! Indeed, do contact Slipdigit, unfortunately your username is slightly bulky and sort of distorts my screen sometimes, not a problem though, it can be easily changed

 

OK everyone, I looked at the previous thread (forum?) and started posting on it, thinking I was posting on this one. I may never get the hang of this! Hard to teach an old dog new tricks. Not that I'm an old dog! I love the info you are giving, thanks a million.
Brenda

 

Thanks, Mark. Brenda

 

Thanks for the feedback. I was thinking it may be too long, but was afraid I wouldn't get responses for the timeframe and location I am interested. How do I change it?

 

Thanks. will do.

 

Simply message Slipdigit here:
