Hello everybody

 

As mentioned in the title I 'm come from France.

 

I m interssed by a lot of subject like WW1, WW2, 1st Vietnam war, the US vietnam war and also the french Algerian war....

I started the military collection at 10 yo, now I m 28 yo and I still collect the uniforms

 

Also my great father was an american Soldier who came during the WW2: John Peter Sileikis he enlisted in 1942 at Chicago. I 'm also here to find more information about him.

 

Hope to meet you again in this sweet forum and sorry by advance for my poor english :excl:

toitoine66 sent me some pictures of John P. Sileikis and his dog tag via PM and said he didn't mind me posting them for him, so here they are.

 

Thank you so much for your relatives service!

howdy, welcome aboard

 

And don't worry, your English is perfectly understandable and a hell of a lot better than my French!

And a lot better than more than a few America born folks.

Welcome!
