I dedicate these pages to the memory of my Dad,
Bill Heller (1910-1972),

and to the brave men and women who sacrificed so much for our freedom.

* Hello, visitor! This is Edward Heller. Richard Heller, my father, made this website to document the photos his father William took during World War II. This website had to be rebuilt, so the website may not look quite the same as it did in 2019, the last time Rich was able to update the website. Pages from the main menu navigation pages should be working, but some images and links may be broken. Supplemental menus like the one below may not have functioning images and links.

“Men who have offered their lives for their country know that patriotism is not fear of something;
it is the love of something.”

Adlai Stevenson -1952 speech to American Legion

It is with pride that the men of the 3rd Infantry Division point to their record of combat, of campaigns, of landings, and of victories. The route from Casablanca to Berchtesgaden is strewn with the wreckage of the shattered Wehrmacht. Never did the 3rd Infantry Division falter, or fall back in its thirty months of combat. All of this is indeed glorious, and in Army language can be said  to be, “…in keeping with the highest traditions of the service.”*
