We've just heard that Oscar Gingrich had a heart attack and was in the hospital. He had several blocked arteries, which were "fixed" via angioplasty and medication. He is expected to be home soon.

Family and friends of the 818th:

Our good friend Robert Bowles has been in an accident at home involving a brush fire. He was burned on his arms and face. He is receiving care at the University of Tennessee Hospital in Knoxville, TN. He is in the Trauma Department's Surgical/Critical Care unit. He is now stable and is on his way to recovering from his injuries. We hope he gets well soon.

I would like to inform everyone of the passing of my grandfather Edwin Horton of Company B. He passed on January 12, 2008. I was curious if any of you guys remember him and does anyone have any photographs or stories to tell me of him? He told my brother and I many stories when we were kids but would like to hear more.
Bless you all and thank you for service to our country!
