My grandpa served in the 134th regiment 1st battalion company B as a First sergeant. He was wounded on November 24th his medical say he was wounded on his right thigh with a gunshot wound. Not to long after on December 12th on his way to the battle of the bulge he and a few of his men were pinned down in a house while in a fire fight and had to surrender and sent to war prison stalag 9A to 12B. And would be freed by Russians in 1945 sometime in July. Unfortunately after the war he had strong ptsd and coped with alcohol and died in the 70s. May we never forget those who did us a great service. I would recommend a website call 35th division they have photos of tons of people and logs from radios aftermath reports and all sorts of stuff it was great to see all that stuff and to find my grandfather in it.
My Great Grandad‘s brother was killed July 30th, 1944 He served with the 35th Infantry Division and was KIA in France. His name was Orril Grubbs, he was 22.
My father's old outfit First Sergeant of the I & R Platoon.. His Company Commander was Orval Faubus, who later became governor of Arkansas. Back in the 60's my father was the President of the 35th Division Association. I wish he were here today to commemorate this 75th Anniversary of D-Day.
My great Grandpa belonged to the 35th during the war. He was born and raised in Coffey County, Kansas and later moved to central Arkansas. He passed black Friday of 2015. Pop's memorial service was the second funeral that I'd ever played my bagpipes. It was a mixture of emotions doing so. Ever since, I have worn his 35th hat pin on my primary kilt.
I served in the 35th Infantry Division HHC 1/123 in 1988. I’ve got a tattoo of the division patch on my left shoulder. It was my first unit ever. I was a Combat Medic back then.
My great grandpa who is 100 and still very active and healthy (mentally there, very good memory) fought in WW2 with the 35th and set up communication lines between companies.
5:45 - "You Dummy - that's one of ours", "Oh, Brother, our heroes"... 8:40 - "Ah yeah, I'm in a little town called Mesurier"... 8:57 - "This is Bellamy for Kelly. We can't ford the River, the Bed is too soft"... 9:00 - "De Gaul! De Gaul!", que ♫ Burning Bridges ♫ Respect to those who served.
Finished with all pre-WW2 history in 3 minutes! I caught myself telling the screen, "Wait a minute! There's a lot more to unpack there. Don't skip it!"
My father's division in WW2, brave, heroic men. Makes me so insensed most of the youngest generation are so disrespectful and unpatriotic nowadays. Very troubling.
