A big hello to all of you re-enactors. I can't tell you how much this means to me and I'm sure all of the other families of the soldiers that you honor on this website. You ALL should be proud of what you do as you gather to honor the men of 17th Armored Division.
As the son of Gordon Ketchpaw I am deeply touched by the wonderful work that you have done on his section of your web site. Some time ago you asked for any information about my Father. I was so very pleased that you not only used photos from his time in the 17th Engineers but also the information I supplied for his life before and after the War.
Continue on with your work , your effort is remarkable and you also should be very proud of this site.
Great thanks
