Hello,

Marie-Louise Spencer

France Remembers (and is grateful).
Our daughter, Michelle, just came back from a trip to
Provence. While there, she talked to a man in the street.
He complimented her on her fluency in French. She told him: My
mother was born and raised in Nice where she met a
"parachutiste", my father. He answered her, when you get home, tell
your father Thank You! She cried and so did I when I heard.

Comments: For awhile now, I have been thinking about whose served with my father, George William Hartman. My father survived the D-Day Invasion and The Battle of the Bulge, but lost his battle with cancer in 1972. He was with Company B. If there is anyone who knew him, please email me, it would mean so much. I knew he received the Purple Heart, but just found our he also received the Silver Star and several Bronze Medals. I thank all of you who fought as well as died for our country's freedom. I am truly grateful.

Hi Ben,

Thank you so much for your response. I did see my father's name in the Christmas roster. My mother said he was a part of the D day invasion... I guess she confused that with the invasion of Southern France.

Thanks also for including my entry in the next mail call :) Hearing from someone who was with my father would bring so much more meaning to not only what my father did for our country, but for all of the men and women who served then.

If I don't respond in the next week or so, it's because I am having surgery tomorrow. My computer is on the 2nd floor and I will be temporarily living on the first floor for 1-2 weeks. I hope everyone will understand, because I would love to email or talk to someone so very much who knew my father.

Have a Nice Week!

Ben, In response to Dorothy McKenzie's message in Mail Call a weeks ago, recently, I talked to Yoko and Jack Dunaway, ninety something. We had a nice chat. He said he hadn't received the Thunderbolt recently, so I sent him copies of my first two. Jack is very much alive, in fact, he invited us to visit him if we ever get to the Los Angeles area. Fat chance of that, but it would be nice. Bob

Hi Ben,
I would like to order a paperback copy of Paratroopers Odyssey. I know I need to mail payment to Bob Christie, but I don't have his mailing address. I would also like to receive the Thunderbolt. My address is 229 Delaware Ave., Nampa, Id., 83651
Thank you
