Hi grandpa, my third time come here. just want to say i'm so glad to talk with you.

My father, Robert J. Donahue, was with the 463rd from its creation at Anzio. He was awarded a field commission in January 1945, after Bastogne. He remained in the Army after the war, fought in Korea with the 187th RCT, and eventually retired as a Major at Ft. Sill, OK, in 1963. Died at Ft. Sill, 1973. He was always proudest of his service with the 463rd.

Trooper Richard A Carroll is my father whom my Brother Ricard R. Carroll wrote this fantasic story of our father. I never knew my brother until my father passing in 1998. We met in 2002, since the meeting I have learned more of my father past in the Army of what he did. I am proud to be the daughter of Richard A. Carroll for what he taught me and how he survied the ordeal and pain after the war. I am proud of all men and women whom keep this country safe. I to have son Richard Kyle O'Brien serving in the Air Force now station in England At Lakeheath.

This is a wonderful website. I sent a link to another WWII veteran I know. It's an honor to know you, Bill.

My father, John M. Kirchner was proud of the 463rd, and was very proud of the men he served with.
