The Story Continues
Thanks WTXL Channel 27 ~ ABC Tallahassee, Florida for including my dad's cousin's Leonard Tomaszewski's D-Day account. If you want to hear more and read his story, start here: D-Day.
In this section I have started a 'Letters From Vietnam' part to the website. It has been my goal from the onset of this project that I offer a forum where people can learn the history of the world we live in as experienced by those that lived and fought in the various conflicts of the past 100 years.
