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.

This website started as a living story of my uncle's service in World War II. I found some 200 plus letters in my late uncle's office he used to run his business after the war, and during his retirement. It was in 2008 that I asked my father (deceased last November 2011) if I could have the letters and look at. In the last eleven years I have painstakingly read, organized and put up this website, that I am proud of.
