V.L.Patrilla
My father, is looking for other men who served alongside V.L.Patrilla in the 358/Co.K.  He arrived in Europe in December of '44 coming for Fort McClellan, Alabama, and was there for around 18 months.  Dad became a machine gun squad leader that was connected M Company.  Some of his buddies on the squad were Ashely Hobson, Alfred Parker, Sam Mieceli, and W. Jenkins. 
My father is now 78 and would enjoy connecting with someone from his Army days.  He's preserved many of his stories and memories for his children.  What a gift.

Ted Minde I'm looking to reunite with some old comrades who served in 357 Co A. I was a replacement just after "The Bulge" and was stationed in Waldsassen after the war. It was strange being 18 years old and new to the war, while these "old" guys, not much older than I, seemed so much older. Would like to see some of the 'old' guys again.
