BigStewMan Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 oh, the Belles look horrible. You’d better ship them off to me, i’d hate for your neighbors to see those and you be all embarrassed. Don’t worry about me, i have no reputation to uphold. Glad you survived the hurricane shipmate. Steve 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was given my late grandfathers helmet and dress coat this summer and I would like to try to piece together as best I can where his battalion (if I'm lucky!) was and when. Does anyone have any experience researching these kinds of things? The huge fire in St Louis in '73 did no favors in this regard, but the internet is a marvelous thing. Happy Friday to the fellow working types! Cup o'Joe #2 is on board... cheers! Hey Dave -- hope all is well up in Alaska. Do you have a DD-214 or any documents that show what unit(s) he was assigned to? If you do, the service that he was in can help you. Not sure about the 40s; but, i retired in 2003 and the DD-214 listed all the units that I was assigned to. Many award citations list the unit assigned to as well. If you’re striking out with any of those, i would ask the service that he was in for a list of the units he was assigned to, they may also be able to tell you the names of any campaigns or operations associated with his unit; or like you said, you would have some good information to start your internet research. Good Luck. My Uncle was at Normandy. I didn’t find this out until after he died. He would tell me war stories while i was growing up and i remember him talking about how the bullets were flying the minute the landing craft doors opened. It was later that i saw his canteen with NORMANDY etched into it. Can’t help but think of him every time i watch Saving Private Ryan and think, “Uncle Frank was there for real.” When i young, his stories were so cool, i hoped that there would be a war when i turned 18. At age 16, his stories took a turn and i remember thinking, “I hope i never have to go to war.” 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How long ago was it when they played the live version of "smoke on the water" on AM radio? 1973? I had to have this song when I was a kid...5th, 6th grade. I ended up buying Machine Head by mistake which had the studio version of the song. No big deal...and I did get made in Japan. The intro to "Lazy" is my favorite. That poor Hammond is begging for mercy. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully my son can actually drive back to his house in about a week. For right now, it's boat in, boat out. CECAA850, Glad to hear you fared well at your place, but sad to hear about your son's place. Do I foresee some father/son remodeling projects on the horizon? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
