First, I want to say " Hello ". I'm Walt, the creator of this site. It is my desire to bring honor and dignity to the men and women depicted on these pages. They have contributed much time, energy and effort to the Legion Post 70. Many have done all that was asked of them by their country in a time of war. To them, I salute. | ||

The Womens' Auxiliary, God bless 'em, they are tireless in their efforts to assist in any way. They have not only donated a bit of cash towards the Goldbook project, but they also are helping to gather info & pictures of Service men & women who are going to be added to the up-dated section of the book. Many thanks gals !! | ||

This is Gary, ( the
one with the rifle ), he makes sure I do things right! Like the military
designation numbers on all Army Vehicles and any Ribbons or Awards shown
on the site.
I think he may have a ' live' one in the chamber. |

A "thank you very much" goes out to 1st Sgt. Jerry Chambers, (along with a salute from a swabby), for suggesting the new area on our site containing Pictures of our men & women of the military " in action" from overseas. |
| Greetings:
Late yesterday I took the liberty of informing my Scholarship Local Selection Committee there in Oberlin and the Recipients and Parents about the Web Site that you have produced. I have also informed the same group in the McCook area. This morning I had six messages concerning the Web Site address that I would like to share with you. # 1 From Joe Quade the Editor of our Thunder From
Heaven Publication.
# 2 From Ed Siergiej, Secretary 17th Airborne Division Association. "Del, Just finished viewing your Service Record on the Legion's website.
Ed # 3 From Mrs Beryl Linders the Daughter of the Family I stayed with as a Student at K-State. " Hello There,
# 4 From Jerry Simmons a retired Army Colonel and fellow Army Aviator. " Excellent Biographical Presentation.
Jerry Simmons # 5 From Paul Nelson A very loyal Veteran from the 1st Infantry Division. "That is really great. I'm a bugler/trumpet player, so I like the picture at the end. I also liked the picture of you as a wrestler. I'll never mess with you. # 6 From Nathan Harsh a Townsend Scholarship Recipient who graduated
fro the University of Nebraska in 2003.
Walt I never dreamed that I would receive this kind of a response from
the Townsend Scholarship Family and the 17th Airborne Division Association.
Believe me "Every kind word and compliment should be given to you'.
