Lamb I remember going down town to a few bars like the Havanna, Hillbilly and the Milkbar, they were the big clubs back then as anyone will tell you we spent a lot of time in the field. They were a great bunch of guys having as much fun as the law would allow. Looking back now we were one big family and it still that way today. I guess the reason I am having flashbacks now is 37 years tomorrow I flew back to the states and went home. Rotating out with me was one of the best sgt. I knew his name was Sfc. Fivish, I hope that the spelling is right. He was shipping out to nam and never said a word to anyone if someone served with him or knows any thing about him please e-mail me. The 3ID is still the best the army has to offer. In closing all I can say is "Can Do" sir. PS: Thanks for the memories. |

I have contacted the Army for his records but they have been lost with others in the fire. He was a brave soldier in the Third Division, Seventh Regiment named Joseph Kopczynski. He was part of the St. Mihiel Offensive, Meuse-Argonne Offensive and 1st Army Area Defensive Sector as a rifleman. I saw on your website you have pictures of the 3rd division.
Might you have any of Joseph Kopczynski? Or a 7th regiment picture
from training between Aug 6, 1918 and Sept 12 1918? |

The regimental history states that King Company with armored support conducted the attack. The villagers stated that two American tanks were destroyed, and that the KIA were likely from the armored unit, which would likely have come from the 756th Armored Battalion. Or, if they could not tell the difference between tanks and tank destroyers, possibly the 601st Tank Destroyer Battalion. The project officer there stated they believe there
were 9 KIA, and they would like to memorialize these soldiers on a
monument to be built in the village. Short of scouring the morning
reports, I can think of no other way of finding such information, unless
one of our veterans was actually there at the time. Any ideas? |

Nicholas J. Del Grosso, killed in action on 20 Feb 44 at Anzio, Italy. He was serving in the 3rd Inf Div, 30th Reg, 2nd Battalion, Co. E. In the history of the 3rd Division it states that over half his company was lost on Feb 19-20 when they counter attacked up the "Bowling Alley" near Carano, Italy. For nearly 3 decades, I have been compiling information on this action, trying to shed light on the circumstances of his death. This has remained the heartbreak of the family for 61 years, as he was only 19 years of age. Is there any way to ask veterans, if any of them were in this specific company/battalion and participated in this action and possibly knew my uncle prior to his death. The family would be eternally grateful if we could talk to someone from that unit. Respectfully, Frank Marano, LCDR, USN Ret. US Naval Academy '75 |

This gentleman was a doctor in Iraq and applied for a job with the Coalition as a medic, but was given a job as a translator instead. His English is very good; he has very pale skin and reddish hair. He remembers working with soldiers from a unit whose home is at Fort Stewart, Georgia. Long story short, this man was targeted for death by insurgents for having collaborated with the Coalition, and an attempt was made on his life. He was forced to stop working with the Army after only a few days. He is now in the U.S. and is seeking asylum. His asylum case is based in part on his past collaboration with Coalition troops and in part on his religion (Christian). I am his attorney and am trying to help him win asylum. If anyone remembers working with Ziad, please contact me as soon as possible. Also, if anyone has first hand information about other translators who were persecuted by insurgents because they helped the 3rd Infantry Division, that would be helpful. Thank you in advance for your kind assistance. |
