AMERICAN IDEALS of FREEDOM

It is the hope of this website that information can be made readily available for all who wish to have a better understanding of what these National Guard and replacement soldiers experienced in the ETO. The 30th Division  was ranked as the TOP division in the ETO by Col. Marshall, GSC, Historian of the ETO. This site will make as much information available as time will allow.  It is an ongoing labor-of-love. Please feel free to contact me with any information you may wish to share. I strive to make all items ACCURATE and to give CREDIT whenever due. If any item is listed incorrectly PLEASE contact me immediately.  Most all photos and maps will appear as thumbnails, so clicking on each will enlarge them.  Reading and printing of reports will require the Adobe Reader software which is free.  I have provided a link on Reports page to assist in obtaining. I have found many family members of 30th Division vets to be actively seeking to learn more about their fathers' and grandfathers' military service. Please feel free to contact me with any and all questions.
