Dear Wilma, Michael and Anne, Katherine, and Jon and your families, I remember meeting your Dad up at Camp Woodstock and Michael and Anne - we enjoyed many baseball and football games together as Bob helped coach along with you Michael. Instead of playing baseball and football, Derek is now racing stock cars for a hobby. He loves racing and he is a very good driver. He races all over the states including Illinois where he lives, Texas, Georgia, Ohio and several others. And Garth lives in San Francisco and worked for the drug company, Genentech. Both are very happy and doing very well, but I must say, I sure wish they lived closer. So sorry for your loss and may your Dad rest in peace.

I met Sgt. Currey at Freedoms Foundation Valley Forge - he wanted to take a photo with me and my harp "Diablo". It's among my most treasured photos. It was an honor to meet him and take a photo with him. He will be missed. Please accept my deepest sympathies on the loss of your father and a true American hero! Elaine Matt, Sec/Treasurer, FMOHG

Sgt. Currey was an exceptional example of America's "Greatest Generation". He refused to be beaten even though the odds of his succeeding were miniscule. His bravery and courage in the line of fire are beacons of inspiration for all our Military personnel today. Mr. Currey may be gone now, but his dedication to his fellow soldiers and his Country will live on as long as our flag continues to fly. May he rest in peace. With our deepest condolences to Kathy, Tom, and Family.

From a son of those people in occupied Europe that were liberated by people like Mr. Currey, a heartfelt thank you. It was because of people like like him, soldiers who risked everything, that me and my family can enjoy living in freedom. I hope that current generations can learn the lessons from your example.
