Thank you!

My father, James Pratt, was in D Company, 508th PIR. He was at Normandy and Market Garden. I believe he told me that the weather and fighting were incredibly fierce. Somehow his unit got ahead of the flanks in one battle and were totally exposed. He said they had to backpedal a bit - the only time they had to give back ground apparently.

Thanks again....

My father, Billy G. Hahnen, was a member of Company G, 505, 82nd Airborne. He made 4 combat jumps, including the Holland jump. On October 8, 1944, he was wounded severely in both legs by a tree burst near Groesbeek. My father was sent back to the States. He was awarded the Purple Heart for that and also the Silver Star and Bronze Star for action in France during D-Day. We miss him every day!

I wish you the best with your site and research. I was at the 40th of Market-Garden in Nijmegen. I also did the 4-Day walk once with the Dutch Army "Vierdaasge Nijmegen". Don't forget, the 82nd Airborne took every objective including the Waal Bridge and lost many a good man to save British troops that refused to cross the bridge. God bless the brave men of Julian Cook's 3/504. I knew many of them!
