I am sorry to hear that Joe Motil has passed away. Joe never looked his age and he got me started in the National 4th Infantry Division Association several years ago. Joe even voted for me to be President. He was a great man and he will be missed at the local level and at the National Reunions. God Bless to Joe and family. I will be attending the Service.

Sir,
I did not know you personally, however I would very much like to "Thank You" for your dedicated and honorable Military Service to OUR country.
As a member of the "GREATEST GENERATION", and as a "VETERAN OF WORLD WAR II", you Sir are my HERO!
At a later date we will meet in that "SPECIAL PLACE" which GOD has reserved for ALL of those who have stepped forward to serve their country in a Military Uniform.
May ALL of GOD'S blessings be with your dear family!

Jen, Adam, Ryan and the entire Sellman family...

May this moment afford you peace and blessings in all the memories that you all cherish. You always spoke so fondly of those moments. May you find happiness that he is now resting peacefully and was able to share in so many life events with you thoughout the years. You will always "wear" the pride of his accomplishments.

Support and love, today and always,
Ali, Andrew and Matthew Olin

I got to know Joe over the past several years through the Battle of the Bulge Association. Our connection began with gardening conversations. Joe was an avid gardener almost to the end. He took me to see his beloved farm last summer; I was amazed at all he still was doing in his mid-nineties. Joe's strength of character was amazing, as are his achievements over the course of his life. Joe indeed was a brave member of the Greatest Generation. I will miss him at our meetings and as a friend. My...
