    My name is Keith and I live in Kodiak, Alaska. My dad was in the 30th Division, 117th IR. I'm currently gathering data for a book on the 30th and am delighted to find this forum.

    Hello, Keith! I'm looking forward to read your contributions on the 30th Div thread as well as any anecdotes you care to share about your father's service.

    Keith, The "Old Hickory" Division saw some major fighting in Normandy, the Bulge, the Siegfried line, the Roer River and others. Would love to have you post his separation paper if you have it. Been to your fine state many times but always above the Arctic Circle--always wanted to see some of the prettier places.
    Hope to see more about your father.
