REQUEST #5493 Name: Deanna Young Telephone: 1-760/832-2883 Email: okmrsyoung@gmail.com Subject: Information Please 1 Comments: Hello… I got your name from an historical reenactor friend of ours. My husband was stationed in Giebelstadt Germany with the 3rd Infantry Division as a weather officer with the Air Force. Retired, we now do a veterans expo each year in association with The Salvation Army. The Program is called VEAP (Veterans Easy Access Program) and we have vendors from many military, government, local and national agencies who come together one day each year all in one place to give information and services to veterans and active duty. We also honor two active duty from our local 29 Palms Marine Base, and two distinguished veterans from our local area. I have attached a picture taken the first year of our Expo at the Indio Armory. We have been growing. This year we have, as our key note speaker, Secretary Peter Gravett, California Secretary of Veterans Affairs. Joining him on the stage will be Congresswoman Mary Bono Mack, Assemblymen Brian Nestande and Manuel Perez, and County Supervisor John Benoit. Mike Moore will be portraying FDR. He is a member of CHG 2nd Armored Division, Military Vehicle Owners of Orange County and The Flying Tigers AVG Living History Group. Mike was with us last year. Now the information I need. What is the procedure to be considered for an appearance by some of your folks? We will be at the Riverside County Fair Grounds this year on Saturday, October 27. It is a short day. The expo opens at 9 and runs through 1:30. It is a free event and includes free hot dogs, snacks, beverages, etc. If you could help by making an appearance, it would be a blessing. We will have an outside display with a Half-Track provided by the Patton Museum, and we are expecting a display, as yet undetermined to be provided by the Palm Springs Air Museum. We would love for you to join us. Thanks for your help and consideration. Blessings, Deanna Young Co-chair VEAP EXPO Member, Advisory Board The Salvation Army Cathedral City Corps 760/832-2883 okmrsyoung@gmail.com |

REQUEST #5488 Name: Rick Rolak Email: tempcomechanical@gmail.com Subject: Joseph John Rolak 36003938 1 Comments: Dear Sir: My dad was in the 3rd Infantry Div 30th Regiment Co I during WWII. He was awarded the Silver Star on 8 November 1942, the first day of ground combat in the ETO (see attached). There were no DSCs or Medals of Honor awarded that day, which makes it possible that he was the first American soldier decorated for bravery in the ETO. Does the Division have an historian or any other way to prove or disprove this? Thanks, Rick Rolak  |
