My name is Chris Boyer. My Grandfather, William M. Currier, died on December 23, 1988. 

Recently, I was looking on the 94th Infantry's website and noticed he was not included on the TAPS section. I would like to have his memory included if possible. He wrote part of the paragraph below which I believe was included in the yearbook from the 94th's reunion in Baltimore in the 1980's. Thank you for your consideration.
 

Sincerely,
 

Chris Boyer

From: "Eric Hendrix"

My father, Arthur Edward Hendrix of Greensboro, NC died 6/30/2004. Arthur was a member of the 94th Infantry Division. He was in Company B of the 301st Infantry. While in live fire training with hand grenades at Camp McCain in Mississippi a live grenade was accidentally tossed into the trench he occupied with 5 other men. My father reached down and picked up the grenade and attempted to throw it out of the trench. Just as it was leaving his hand it exploded taking off his right hand. His quick thinking saved his life and the lives of the other 5 men in the trench. Arthur was awarded the Soldiers Medal for Valor for his actions that day. The other 5 men in the trench at the time were as follows: Cpl. Austin Di Siverio, Harrisonburg, PA; T/4 Crum Bates, Honoraville, ALA; PFC James I. DiBartolo, Canton, OH; PFC Omer A. Eggeman, Seymour, IND and PVT Armen B. Tookmanian, Cleveland, OH. 

Arthur enlisted on 8/23/43 and was discharged on 11/2/44 with the rank of Staff Sargent. 
If anyone would like more information about Arthur you can contact Eric Hendrix at mailto:EricHendrix@triad.rr.com
Peace to all,

Subject: Gilbert William Fuller 

My father, Gilbert William Fuller of the 94th Infantry, passed away on June 11th 2004.  Like many veterans, he did not retell too much about his war experience.  I am lucky enough to have a 40 minute audio of him discussing a bit of it.  Preparing for his wake, I came across his discharge papers.  In it, it said that he had 4 bronze stars.  I don't know what these are for.  I would like to interview anyone who might be able to tell me more about my father's service record.  Any leads would be appreciated.

Thank you.

Subject: Robert Bruce "Slim" Culbreth

I'm writing this in hope of a response from someone that served with my dad in World War II.  My dad's name was Robert Bruce "Slim" Culbreth.  He was in the 302 Infantry of the 94th Division as a Pfc.  My dad died in January of 1975 from cancer.  Dad never really talked about the war, just bits and pieces.  One of his buddies Lilburn Craig talked a little more of the war years after dad died.  I grew up knowing Lilburn as Uncle Lib.  I'm sorry to say, I've lost contact with Uncle Lib in the past few years.  I know that his health was failing as was his wife's also.  My mother, Lillie Mae died from cancer in 1991.  I have a brother Robert BruceJr., is 56 now.  My name is Cathryn Annette and am 53.  My dad was a tall dark and handsome man.  He had brown eyes and black wavy hair.  I would love to hear from someone to let me know if they knew my dad.  I don't have any details of his time in the war.  I do know that up until he died he still had nightmares of the war.  I would appreciate a response.
Thank you so much,
Annette Culbreth Hawley

My father was in G Company, 301st Division, 94 Infantry (I may have the labels wrong).
His name was Gaston Stanford Hale.  He was from Michigan when he was drafted, but lived and died in Gallatin, Tennessee on September 1, 1997.  If you need further verification, I can provide.  I would love to see him listed on this list…he was very proud of his service and association with the 94th Infantry.  (We have several pics of him in his 94th cap that he wore all the time.)

How can I stay in touch with this organization?

Thank you.

Subject:Henry Derwood Goode
Date: Thu, 3 Jun 2004 

Henry Derwood Goode a member of the 94th Div, 301st Infantry Company C passed away in 2000. He was laid to rest in our family cemetery with his wife in Union Springs Georgia.  Henry was a long time resident of Eufaula, Alabama where he owned and operated a successful printing business until his retirement. He was beloved by all who knew him and was very proud of his affiliation with the 94th, reading fondly ATTACK and wearing his patch on his fishing hat, which he did just about every other day. Henry’s service to the 94th began at Fort Benning and included being a prisoner of war and the recipient of the Good Conduct medal and Combat Infantry Badge.  He did not talk much about his time over there and of his service this is all I know, except to say although he held no high rank or bragged of heroic deeds, he was an extraordinary man that held the high ideals of his Christian faith in the most difficult of circumstances. 

Henry’s family included his loving wife Francis, his 2 children and their spouses Hank and Diana Goode and Patricia and Steve Lopez, and myself, his grandson.

I would sincerely appreciate it if you could post his passing along side other members of the 94th so he may take his place among these other fine men. 
Warmest Regards,

David J. Lopez
