REMEMBERED ACROSS THE YEARS

A memorial from his wife.

Memories are little parts of one's life and Private Trittschuh was one of those memories that I will never forget.

I only knew him for a very short period of time but it was long enough that he made an everlasting impression on me.

Be proud of him.

From his squad leader,
Henry J Seither
