I'm afraid I am only in contact with men from the 304th Port Co. and HQ, but I will email if someone from this company contacts me.
ReplyDeleteSgt. Edmund T. Long is my father.

How wonderful to come across this website and find my dad's name listed under the 303rd Port Company. His certificate from the people of Antwerp graces our living room wall.
Pfc Marvin B. Newman was my father.
ReplyDeleteI have always been incredibly proud knowing he was a part of the D-Day invasion. He died in 1965 and I was left with just a few 2nd hand stories about his role in the port battalion.
I am thrilled to find this site and see some of the names of the brave men he served with.

ReplyDeleteHe is currently 92 and recently I started hearing stories from him, which I'm very lucky to hear first hand and stumbled upon this in feeding my head with some background information this help tremulously, thank you for sharing this information.
