Comments: I am the daughter of Sgt. Carrol E. (Bud) Fairclo who has since passed away 3 years ago.
My brother Larry Fairclo is writing a book called, "The Quiet Hero" regarding his war experiences and
how it effects the veteran and the family of the veteran. We lost his medals in a fire and it has taken 3 years
to reissue them and finally May 6th they will be dedicated at the Veterans Facility in The Dalles, Oregon
on May 6, 2001 at 6 PM. Anyone who knew my father, we would love to hear from you and chat.

Senator Walden's office of Oregon is writing a grant for monies for my brother to retrace my dad's footsteps
in Italy; to see where he was shot, also the site of the German pill box where he captured the enemy and saved
many men in his unit. Also in Italy, he is to get the last medal for our family's collection which is the
Italian Medal of Valor. We also hope to obtain movie rights....my dad was rodeo rider before and after the war.

I am also researching his time after he was wounded and returned to Camp Tule Lake for the
Interned Japanese-Americans (Calif.) I am trying to find out the unit's name for the Army soldiers stationed
at this campsite and if anyone knows, I would appreciate an email....Thanks so much.

I am trying to get a memorial for all the veterans who homesteaded and others who purchased land
and farmed in the Tulelake Basin, California. There will be a future interpretive center at the campsite,
but I want recognition for the 2,000 Army soldiers who were also at the camp.
Does anyone have any information on the unit's name or information.
Thank you for your time. Sincerely,

I'm writing you and the Society of the 3rd Infantry Division as a pal of
mine is trying to research his father's unit in World War II, which I
understand was the 30th Infantry Reg't. My buddy's father, Charles J.
Jabaley, service number 14141497, was a Private in Company F of the 30th,
and was injured and evacuated home in May 1944 and was discharged in October
1944. (I believe he was with the 30th Infantry at Anzio and was wounded
there in early February 1944.) Mr. Jabaley passed away a few years ago,
and his son is now trying to learn what his father did in the war, as a gift
to the family at large.
The Jabaleys would be grateful for any information that might be available
either on their dad or the 30th Infantry or Company F as a whole in World
War II.

Request: I was hoping to find anyone who knew my grandfather.
His name was Lou Cavicchia. He's from PA and served w/ the "fighting 69'th."
He was usually called "Cavik," and was a first generation American.
My great grandparents were from around where his unit was operating in
Italy. He spoke Italian so was always called by the guards to come talk to
the locals when they showed up wanting something. He spoke of running into
relatives this way and he and his buddies getting a good meal out of it.
If anyone has info, please email me. I have some old pictures I found
and may have one of you I can scan and send to you. I'd like to hear about
what he was like then.
