Below you can meet the men of the 83rd Infantry Division I have met throughout the years or whose story has crossed my path in some other way. I have had the honor to call many of these men my friend and through these pages I wish to permanently honor them. These men who sacrificed much of their young lifes to liberate my home country and the rest of Europe may never be forgotten. I tell their stories to the best of my knowledge and capabilities, please contact me with any corrections or additions.
