Parachute Artillery on Training
Dedication:
This site started as and will always be the home of my close friend WILLIAM 'BILL' TINGEN from Greenville, NC, U.S.A.
Main Topics
463rd Parachute Field Artillery at Lido di Roma
More dedication:
I started to build this site in 2003 to educate our youth and also others (including myself!) and to honor and thank the men who liberated our European countries in WW2. We can best honor them by teaching our children that living in freedom did not come automatically, but was restored by the efforts and sacrifices of hundreds of thousands of patriots and soldiers during World War II.
Expressions of gratitude are never-ending and heartfelt.
First it was a page for Bill only, it remained this way until 2005 when we extended to be also the Official Home for all 463 PFA veterans and their families. This in accordance with Bill himself and other veterans of the 463rd Parachute Field Artillery.
The building of the website has never stopped, it is still 'quietly' under construction.
THANKS !
I would also like to address a special THANK YOU, to Tess Stinson, Kathy (Gallipau) Trefz, Ken Hesler, Marty Graham and all who I might have forgotten for all kinds of help they are giving me on this subject !
Of course also a very special THANK YOU to Bill Tingen himself, and the members of the 463rd PFA, to do me the honor allowing me to build their homepage.
