Last week, I was again on a quick 2 days tour in Normandy with five officers from New Zeland. The weather was so crazy that I didn’t even shot a photo but, on my way back, I visited a friend (farmer) and got again (almost as usual) War Relics.
Anyone interested ? Makes offer to gunter@eucmh.com

Hello from Belgium.
As you will see, there is one category with American Infantry, Armored, Airborne and Cavalry Units/Division in the top of the left side bar and another one in the bottom. The top one will be the place for the archives, the photos and everything related to the unit while the bottom will only deals with the Order of Battle of the unit and the comments from visitors.
About the top category, you are all invited to comment the photos in French, English, Dutch and German (Caption) as well as add you own photos to the collection (if you have some). Please notice that the photos MUST have a size of minimum 1024 pixels.
I am only trying to get some order in the area and allow students and historians to find quickly what they are searching for.
You are all welcome to participate in this project and if you have Wartime photos from your father or grandfather, send them to me and I will see if I can ameliorate the quality (photoshop) of the generally small pictures to put them online. In every cases, please scan with a resolution of minimum 300 DPI (Dot per Inche). If you really don’t know how to do this then please send me the original and I will send them back to you (100%) as soon as they are scanned.
Gunter

It is with much sadness that I am writing to you. We are all struggling to deal with the loss of our beloved Col. Townsend. I want to share with you some of the events of Colonel’s last days. Last Sunday morning I met Isaac (Epps) at the hospital, and we spent the day at Col. Townsend’s bedside, in the Intensive Care Unit. We met late in the morning, and I stayed clear through until 8:00 pm, when the visiting hours are over and they ask you to leave.
Isaac had been there the day before, and had talked to Colonel and had made friends with the nurses and staff in the ICU.

a share from Boston.com
As the surge of 30,000 US troops continues to pour into Afghanistan, the Obama administration is now considering the possibility of reconciling with some of the Taliban, reintegrating the soldiers into society, as a way to find an end to this long conflict. The plan is supported by Afghan president Hamid Karzai, although discussions are still in the very early stages. A recent United Nations report found that violence in Afghanistan claimed the lives of more than 2,400 Afghan civilians in the year 2009. While this is the largest annual death toll for noncombatants since the US led invasion eight years ago, the report found that the majority of deaths had been caused by Taliban attacks. Collected here are images of the country and conflict over the past month, part of an ongoing monthly series on Afghanistan.

Another message from Rachelle, Oklahoma, USA.
As you all know one of our classmates Lory Poteet-Box, was recently diagnosed with Leukemia, and will be soon starting treatment in St Louis, Missouri, to try and beat this disease. Lory contacted me to see if I could help get her daughter, Devon, home from Germany in order to help Lory, Gary and their four younger children. Devon’s husband is active duty Air Force. I have contacted the Red Cross and they do not deem Lory’s condition a life and death emergency, however, that does not mean I have given up there, that only means I have talked to one person and I have my call list for Wednesday, I have a few contacts and trust me I will use them to the best of my ability. I have also talked to couple of people within the Air Force and will be contacting the Family Emergency Group in Germany, to see if they can help get Devon home in that manner. However, if none of these plans follow thru, we all need to help Lory and her family.
