Hi, My grandfather who is currently deceased was a mst sgt in the Marine corps his Name was Ray E. Janeway and I am trying to find a way to get some of his replica medals for my mom she doesnt have anything of his currently, this would be the best gift I could ever give her if you know of how I can do this could you please email me. also if you know my grandfather and served with him  woul like to talk with you about him Thanks so much Kim

I found this site after a web search I started after viewing my grandfather's medal citations last month. I type his name and 76th in google to get to this site. For years I wondered what his experience was (he passed in 1988) and now I know more than I ever could have imagined. I just started reading the history but I know it will be a fascinating and something that the rest of his descendants will be interested in. Thank You!

Thank you so much for developing this page.  My Grandfather was in the 76th.  He never spoke much about the War, yet you could always tell it was in the back of his mind.  He was a Tech. Sergeant during the War.  He did share with me a few memories of the fine men he walked along side of during those times.  That War took a huge toll on the man I called "Pop".  He passed away in 2004 leaving behind a family and friends that truly loved him.  Pop was very proud of his family and always took the time to let us all know how much he loved us.  For those members of the 76th who served alongside my Pop...I thank you for all that you did and all that you sacrificed.  I thank you also for the brave deeds which you accomplished which allowed for Pop to come back home.  If you are wondering what Pop's name is...its very simple...for I carry it with me everyday...I am proud to say...that I was named after a great man.

Very interesting! I enjoyed the sight and will be getting with a few of the people I have met thru the local DAV chapter too.  Thanks!

I recently acquired a captured Nazi flag and on it has names of men that were in the 76th.  I would like to know if anyone can tell me the story of this flag and where they captured it.  I have contacted on of the sons of a gentleman from Niles MI who signed the flag, but his Dad passed in 1980.  Can anyone help me find some of these men that may still be with us?

Excellent site that I enjoyed learning about. I am a former Marine, my father was a WWII Marine wounded at Tarawa part of the 2nd Raider Battalion. My son is due to go to Afghanistan, 19years old, next summer. I was doing research to let him know more about his GREAT-grandfather who was also Army as he is in the NH National Guard. My grandfather served with the 302nd Ambulance Co., Field Hospital 302, 301st Sanitary Train, 76th Division attached to 4th Army Corps in WWI. Hence trying to find info through Google I came to your 76th Division site and am impressed (right Division- wrong war!!). I'm proud of my son (though afraid of course) and he is proud of his heritage. My grandfather died in 1971 when I was 5 so I never had the chance to learn much of his service, just have faded old pictures and a german "Gott Mit Uns" buckle/ belt. Thanks for maintaining this site. I too dread the day when the last of this Greatest Generation answer the final roll call.
