It has been quite a while since I last posted on this blog, but I have continued to search for information about my Dad's time during the war.
For example, I know he reported for duty on September 8, 1944, in Toul, France, as part of Patton's Third Army, 319th Infantry. I also know that the Battle for Metz, France, began near Toul on that same day. So, it appears that just as Dad arrived and reported for duty, he was immediately engaged in the Battle for Metz.
Interestingly, this video was recorded (at least partially) on September 8, 1944. I can't help but look for my then 19-year-old Dad in the video as I watch.
