Comments: I really just would have loved to have met my only uncle on my moms side of the family. Heard wonderful stories about you, You were too young to leave us. You stood up for what you believed in, but you ended up taking a fall for what you believed in I am guessing you wouldn't have changed a thing! Love Maureen

We Miss You!!

Anyone remember SFC Jerry Groom

Jerry Groom wrote on 2008-08-13 21:11:00.0

Comments: My father was S.F.C. Jerry Groom. He was in the 40th infantry Division, 223rd regiment. I believe he also fought at 'Heartbreak Ridge' 'Sandbay Castle Hill,' and the 'Punchbowl.' in or around October 1952. He passed away in 1993, but I'm interested in hearring any stories about him or his company. He would not talk about the war, I hear he was in a very dangerous group with a high casualty rate, but know little else. If you knew him I would like to hear any memories you might be able to convey to me. This would mean a lot to me as I idolized my father. He was one hell of a man. They don't make them like that any more. Thank you for your time. Jerry Groom II
