Col. John Koreman (517th SG) is always ready to answer our questions and he is writing to us very often. The last time he was telling us some very important words which we would like to share :
"Dear Cenda & Pavel,
Your activities provide such a useful service in reminding everyone of what took place in those fateful years from 1939-1945. The world would be a different place today, if many had not given their lives to assure that the rest of us could live in peace and freedom.
My wife, Elsa, and I are well and busy. We often tell our friends about your reenacting and are proud to have you representing and perpetuating the memory the 17th Airborne Division. Stay healthy and keep up the good work !"
John
