My father, Walter Wohlust, served in the 304th Regiment, 76th Infantry, Division Co. G. He was possibly the medic that SGT Richard Schappel mentioned in his writing. My father did receive a Silver Star from Maj.Gen. William R. Schmidt in May of that year. My family and I would appreciate any additional information you have to share about this time.

My great grandfather served in the 76th and was a photographer. I inherited his book of photos and would love to share them. His name was Michael Ripsky and he unfortunately passed away when my grandma was 14. I’ve always wished I could meet him. If anyone has any information about him, I’d love to learn more. His children (including my grandmother) have all passed away.

I recently published a book called "My Father’s War: Finding Meaning in My Father’s World War II Military Service." In it is a detailed account of the 417th Infantry Division's crossing of the Sauer River in February 1945.

My Grandfather raymond russell clark was part of the 76th Infantry Division, 417th Regiment Medical Detachment. Im looking for any information about him or the medical detachment. He passed away about 13 years ago and never really spoke of the war. He did tell a few funny stories about being "busted" down in rank because he and a few other decided to burn a farmers wood fence allowing the live stock to escape, sneaking off to a town to sleep ina hotel instead of a cold tent and my favorite hiding empty alcoholic bottles in an air vent causing a blockage. Other than those three stories we have nothing.

My late grandfather, E. Reed Hardy, served in the 76th Division, Army Reserve, after active duty in WW2. I always wondered what kinds of duties are performed in Army Reserve Units. He passed in 1971.

I'm working as a volunteer with the Stories Behind the Stars project where we try and research and write stories for all the fallen of WWII. A gentleman I am researching was with the 76th so I stumbled upon this page in my research trying to find out what happened to him. I saw his name on your honor roll. A nice tribute to all these fallen. May they be at peace.

My great grandfather, Adolph “Wendy” Wendel was part of the 385th regiment in “A company” as part of the 76th. He was a Sergeant that specialized in mortars. He earned 2 bronze stars fighting in Battle of the Buldge and the fight for Katzenkopf, huge German pillbox with 1k men. I often think about the sheer luck that brought him home and to have me writing this note.
My grandfather is 98 years old. Pray he continues to stay strong. And god bless the other soldiers that fought for us all.

My Father, Leslie Marks, was in Company G. I am so very proud of the greatest generation, but mostly the men and woman that fought and defeated true fascism. Thank you.

Thank you Mr. Gerald T. Brown for writing about your great uncle, Hollis Cloyd. His story, so well brought to life, led to much personal reflection, sadness and a few tears.
What led me to read about the 304th Regiment was that my uncle, Bert Schappel, served with Hollis. I wanted to learn more about the life stories (and sacrifices) of those who were there.
To end I'd like to thank you again for all the time, effort and attention to detail that you put into this task.
Best Regards,
Chris
