Unfortunately, we received a very sad news from Michael J. Patterson that his father, a WWII veteran Jack Patterson, passed away at 3:30 PM on Monday - May 20, 2019. He was 93 years old. We presented you the story of Jack Patterson in one of our first posts on this page. During the WWII Jack served as a Cannoneer in Battery A, 15th Field Artillery Battalion, 2nd Infantry Division. He landed in Normandy on June 12, 1944 and participated in all 5 main campaigns of the 15th Field Artillery Battalion. Later he wrote a book "Operation Overlord" about his war experiences. Thank you for everything, Jack Patterson! We honor your memory and we will never forget you!! #menofthe2ndinfantrydivision #2ndinfantrydivision #2nddivision #2nddiv #15thartillery #usarmy #usarmyveteran #veterans #armyveterans #veteranfamily #veteranassociation #ww2vetarans #ww2history #Hero #WWIIVet #wwiihistory #warhistory #history #wwii #ww2 #Military #Army #rememberwwii #indianhead_roster #unitroster #2nd_division_roster

Today is the day to thank all those who brightened our lives with happiness and freedom. Let us bow our heads and remember the sacrifices of the soldiers from the 2nd Infantry Division "Indianhead" as well as all those who served. And do not forget. Memorial Day is for someone just one day of the year but this does not apply to families of our fallen heroes because for them Memorial Day means every day of their life. We will never forget! #memorialday2019 #memorialday #menofthe2ndinfantrydivision #2ndinfantrydivision #2nddivision #2nddiv #usarmy #usarmyveteran #veterans #armyveterans #veteranfamily #ww2vetarans #ww2history #Hero #WWIIVet #wwiihistory #warhistory #history #wwii #ww2 #Military #Army #rememberwwii #indianhead_roster #unitroster #2nd_division_roster

Some weeks ago we were contacted by family of S/Sgt. Edwin B. Flexer, a member of Company L, 38th Infantry Regiment. His family found our post, published on February 10, where we presented the signed card with Thanksgiving Dinner Menu of Company L. This card was printed in Fort Sam Houston in November 1941 and was signed by 40 members of Company L. It was a great surprise for everyone when Flexer family have found that S/Sgt. Edwin Flexer signed our copy almost 78 years ago. We talked with Rev. Ned Flexer, the son of S/Sgt. Edwin B. Flexer and together we would like to present you the remarkable story of S/Sgt. Edwin Flexer and his family. Edwin Flexer was born on July 3, 1917 in Philadelphia, state Pennsylvania. He had six siblings (three brothers and three sisters). Although Edwin lived in the city, he loved horses and spent a lot of time at a stable where he took care of horses and rode horses a lot. Edwin enlisted in the Army on January 27, 1941 and prior to his transfer to the 2nd Infantry Division, he served in a cavalry unit. Edwin had one great dream! He was going to move with his wife Agnes and son Ned to Texas, when he comes back from the war. He wanted to live on a ranch and take care of horses. In July 1944, S/Sgt. Edwin Flexer was already fighting in Normandy with his Company L. Edwin served as a company radio operator and was awarded the Bronze Star for his action on July 3, 1944 when he managed to repair unit's radio and maintain contact with his division while under fire. On August 1, 38th Infantry Regiment was attacking near Souleuvre river in direction of the city Vire, France. Ned Flexer was 9 months old when his father was killed in action on this day. S/Sgt. Edwin Flexer was 27 years old. We are often thankful to the men, who brought us our freedom but we should commemorate also their families: parents, wives, children and siblings who all lost their beloved ones because their sacrifice and pain are hidden in their hearts forever. Thank you family Flexer and S/Sgt. Edwin B. Flexer. We will never forget your sacrifice!! #menofthe2ndinfantrydivision #2ndinfantrydivision #2nddivision #2nddiv #38thinfantry #usarmy #usarmyveteran

War veterans are one of the most important visitors and guests of the Pilsen Liberation Festival and also program of the project Pilsen 1945. Meeting with them is always a unique moment for us which motivate us in our historical and reenactment work. They also give us a lot of useful and educational informations. On the photo is American war veteran James H. Duncan (38th Infantry Regiment, 2nd Infantry Division) with Tomas Hataj (member of Military Historical and Reenactment Association Tommy & Yankee). #projectpilsen1945 #pilsen1945 #plzen1945 #slavnostisvobody2019 #slavnostisvobody #pilsenliberationfestival #pilsenliberationfestival2019 #liberationfestival2019 #liberationfestival2019 #KvhTommyYankee #history #wwii #reenactment #reenacting #reenactor #wwiihistory #pilsen #ww2history #wwii #ww2 #veterans#veteranfamily #armyveterans #ww2vetarans #armyveterans #usarmy #rememberwwii #warhistory#usarmyveteran #usarmyveterans #menofthe2ndinfantrydivision #2nddivision #2ndinfantrydivision1945
