Comments: Looking for info about my Dad, George Litras, who was wounded in the Kinuri Gauntlet on 11/30/50. If you knew him, or know of him; I'm looking for things like when he joined the 38th, what battalion/company he was in, etc. He passed away a few years ago, and I'm trying to put together a bit of a history of his army years.

Thanks Steve

looking for Jeff M. or Butler

jeremias werner wrote on 2008-03-16 10:47:53.0

Comments: I'm searching for a black soldier/veteran who was stationed in 1977 (probably at Gerszewski Barracks or Smiley Barracks) in Karlsruhe/Germany/Europe. He is tall (approx 6'5") and has a large scar on his chest. He used to tell my mom that he has the scar from a fight with a tiger. I don't know if the tiger-story is true. It's possible that his name is Jeff Butler and that he was PFC with the 517th Maintenance Company in 1977. Butler was quite involved in those so called old stock car race track. It's also possible that his name's Jeff or Jim Truesdale (could be Tuesdale as well; other spellings possible). Do you have any idea how I can get in contact with Jeff Butler (Truesdale, etc.), or who could know about this??? I was told that the following persons (all of them stationed about 1977 in the south of Germany) could know about the whereabouts of my dad: -Randy Buel (former MSG MP,), -Frank (he's from California) -and probably another soldier who is a nativ american (my aunt told me that as far as she can remember, my dad and this nativ american guy used to know each other) I was told it might be easyer to locate a nativ american, even though i have no name of him at all, since there were very litle amount of nativ american soldiers in 1977 in south Germany).

this is Jeremias a son of a father he never met in his 29 years of live. A son who would love to know his (black) family, not more and not less.

truly, Jeremias Werner
