11/08/02	Lynn W. Pierce	piercelw@earthlink.net	Puyallup, WA	USAF B-52D Models (Vietnam)	I really enjoyed your site. I have been looking for information on my Uncle Douglas E. Pierce (gunner)who was killed June 17th 1944. He was in the 856th Bomber Squadron and the 492nd Bomber Group. Thanks for honoring the folks that fought so hard for this country.
01/07/03	Dave Fulton	par0thed@comcast.net	Sarasota, Florida	USAF, Retired	I found your site while doing some searcning about my Dad's adventures in the AAC during WWII. He was with the 825thBS as a photographer from Aug 1944 - Nov 1945. His name was William (Bud)D. Fulton. Unfortunately, finding more info from him is impossible as he died 2 years ago and my stepmother refuses to allow my brothers and access to any of his effects. If any one reading this has any information or can point me in the right direction, please do.

09/24/04	Georges	lahrdeco@yahoo.fr	Luxembourg	no	Dear Bill, This evening I saw on German TV, a special from WWII, bombing Austria in January 1945. You were also in this emission, and left an important impression to myself. Of course that must be hard for yourself to read some messages from Austrian people who survived this tragedy, and give you a bad felling as they were the "victims". But you are right, historically it was OK. I am from the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, and these days we are celebrating the 60th anniversary of our liberation from the Nazi regime. Believe me, that our people and of course myself (born in 1963) thank's all the Veterans from U.S.A., UK, and other countries for our LIBERATION. Without you, and your other friends, the fine world we live today will not be possible. Our Grand Duke Henri of Luxembourg was recently in the States to thank the American Veterans and the People, for this great help, YOU GAVE TO US 60 years ago. I am glad to thank you personnally, in the name of our people what you had done for us. My English is not fantastic, so I will pronounce it also in my maternal language, that we can use again after the end of German occupation. Villmolls Merci fiir alles! Thank's again. Georges
09/28/04	Bernard Klein	Bklein806@aol.com	Bloomfield, CT. 06002, USA	484th BG, 824th BS, Ball Turret Gunner	I flew 7 missions from 4/44 - 9/44 as a replacement gunner. Was returned to the states on 9/44 for training as gunner in B-29s at Biggs in TX. The last missions I flew were for the Southern France invasions and the first mission was northern Italy raids bridge bombing to stop retreat of German Army. I also remember one mission to Potesti in Romania, (not Ploesti). Since I only flew when there was a crew shortage , I was lucky to survive. Will be at reunion in Denver 10/04

01/02/05	Bernward Neutzler	bernie_neutzler@hotmail.com	Germany		Hi Bill, I also watched on German TV the documentation on bombing Viena in WWII. I am German and 36 years old, but mainly I feel European. My Mom told me about her escape from Eastern Germany to the west and the horrible experiences that she made during the bomb attacks on Braunschweig/Brunswick. I would like to tell you that my elder sister is married since 20 years to an US-soldier, having 2 wonderful children. As you might have noticed, my last name is "Neutzler", so probably there is another link to you. For my generation we (unfortunately) are taking for granted our democracy and freedom, the right to express ones opinion... but we shall always remember that young men like you lost their lives to expell the most criminal and inhuman regime the world has seen so far some 60 years ago. Nevertheless, and please allow me to say so, I consider the bomb attacks on German cities with the aim to demoralize German population as a war crime, like German attacks on Rotterdam, Warsaw, London, Coventry and elsewhere. Surely, then the most coherent military option was in doing so. Dear Bill, thank you for keeping the memory alive. With all my best wishes, Bernie Neutzler, 2.1.2005
