Justin Langston 2010-5-20 15:25   Montgomery, Texas, USA Website My Father in Law, Sgt Clarence E Taylor was a member of Co. E 386th Infantry Regiment from 22 Apr 1943 to 17 Mar 1946. Clarence is now 88 Years young and still going strong. He still drives himself around the Houston & Conroe Texas area like he was my age 55. His memory is strong on the past events from the war and it has taking me a few years to get hem to open up and talk about it. Do any of you remember Clarence? He was with a machine gun group around 8th April 1945 and said that a group of about 150 Germans surrendered to his platoon that was dwindled down to just a few men. He acted as an MP in Japan at the end. – Justin Langston 14393 Ehler Lane – Montgomery Texas 77356 – Phone 936 597 4393.

Russ Hanson 2010-5-7 21:06   Mounds View, MN, USA Website Just another note to thank you again for this website. After seeing this site, a 386th company "H" WWII veteran phoned me last night to inquire about my Dad; and now two good (Company "H")friends Jack Thiessen, and my father Robert Hanson have made contact and the two of them had a nice discussion over the phone last night after not hearing from one another for 65 years. Amazing. Erik - You are to be commended for what you are doing for not only Co. "I", but as you may gather by all of these letters, many other Companys of the 386th. - Russ allaboutpoolsinc@comcast.net

Carl James Cameron 2010-1-25 12:05   Kansas City, USA Website My father was in company F, 386th Infantry, 97th Division. He passed away in 1995, but not before I was able to get him to share many memories. I too am searching for those that may have known him. He was wounded on 04/16/1945 while crossing the Wupper River. Anyone who can help me find people who might have known him, please let me know.

Russ Hanson 2010-1-19 13:38   Mounds View, Mn, USA Website Terrific site! I am the son of Robert (Bob) Hanson (from St. Paul, Mn) who was in Company H of the 386th. I was doing some research in preparation for videotaping him telling his history in the upcoming weeks, when I came across this website. Good Job.

Jerry Corey 2009-11-19 19:34   Audubon New Jersey, USA Website My father GB Corey served with 386 Co.C. He was a forward scout and was a friend of Joe Hastings who received the Medal of Honor for action in Germany. Do you have any info about Co. C and how I could get a roster. After the war my Dad went and visited Joe's family in Ohio. Joe was KIA 4 days after he saved my Dad's life and many others in his platoon.
