From: David G. Hill, and Jack Hill (Oct 2010)

My son and I are desperately trying to find more information on some guys who served with our Uncle Donald S. Hill who passed away last year. In going through some books and war memorabilia he left us, we found a hand written letter to our Uncle from a Clifford W. Olerich who was taken prisoner after being hit with machine gun rounds.

We’d love to make contact with anyone who knew Don. He was very dear to us and we miss him awfully.

Sincerely,
David G. Hill, and Jack Hill
