Here are my two humble D-Day related additions since my post last year..

 

Tec 5 Ezra Feller served with Company B of the 745th Tank Battalion, and landed at the Easy Red sector of Omaha Beach at around 1500 on June 6, 1944. He survived the war.

Major Albert Loughmiller served with the 345th Parachute Field Artillery Battalion, 82nd Airborne Division. He made all of the 82nd combat jumps in WWII, receiving a Purple Heart in the process. He survived the war.

I believe that Captain Lohmiller served in the 456th PFA. The 345th Field Artillery was a unit in the 90th Infantry Division.

EUGENE R. ANDERSON, 0365876, CAPTIAN, 294th Joint Assault Signal Company. For gallantry in action in the vicinity of Colleville-sur-mar, Normandy, France, 6 June 1944. Despite intense hostile fire, Captain Anderson skillfully maneuvered his section to better observe naval fire. On his own initiative, he proceeded beyond advanced infantry positions to direct artillery fire and neutralized machine guns impeding a battalions advance. Captain Anderson’s courageous leadership materially aided in the success of the invasion. Residence at appointment: Forty Fort, Pennsylvania.

I'm very grateful to these men who came to fight for the freedom of another country.

Therefore, I decided to collect uniforms & groupings from these brave men.
