Is there a roster of members of the 17th? Pictures? My Dad was a young Sargent who made the Rhine jump but, never talked much about the war to us even though he remained in the Army for 30 years. I'm trying to do some research and any help would be appreciated.
best, Tim

Welcome Flyboy, hope you find what you're looking for

| Thanks for asking that question, flyboy--I just joined today, my dad was also in the 17th. He too did not talk much about his experiences, most of what I know I learned in his later years. I will be interested to look at the links that came out of your question. ("is there a roster of the 17th...?") You can see what I wrote about my dad in post #230006 under 'Qualification Range.' jumpollie
