After more than a year we recieved two comments in one week.
One notes a of a picture on this blog about hero Dewitt H. French not only from WWII but the Korean Conflict as well; from his adoring daughter Betty.

A comment was left from a fan (Alex) of Deanna Durbin's (a Yank Girl) among many other accomplishments. Alex has set up a web site honoring her.

I dated the soldier who appeared on the cover of Yank Magazine ( European edition) dropping his rifle at the end of WWII. His name was Ed Halpin and he had been in (I believe) Africa, Scicily, and D Day invasions. He was wounded at least twice, maybe three times. When I met him he was recuperating in England and was on leave from the hospital. He looked me up in St. Germain-en-Laye where I was a WAC corporal attached to USSTAF. He had just been assigned as a driver for Yank Magazine. I got to know the Yank staff and thought they were a remarkable bunch of men.
