Thanks for posting this, my great uncle was with the 105th and survived until the end of the war. He fought in the thick of it, hand to hand at times. He was awarded 2 Bronze Stars. I don't think he shared much of his war experiences with anyone except other family members who were veterans of the war. One person being my grandfather who was a Navy veteran. My grandfather brought his family with him when they went to pick him up including my father and as much liquor he could carry to give to the other soldiers when my great uncle was discharged from a tent encampment in NYC or NJ during very cold/snowy weather. Was either Ft. Hamilton or Ft Dix.He felt terrible for all the soldiers freezing and huddling in this encampment, something my father always remarks about when recollecting his memories of this.
He took a few years to deal with the transition back to civilian life and became a great citizen of the community and an even better family man. He worked until he was 86 years old and held several patents related to his career. It was always an honor to be in his presence. He built his own home by salvaging lumber, raised 8 kids and my father always admired him for teaching him how to box while was growing up, my great uncle boxed as well while in the U.S. Army.

Today's Featured Article - Upgrading an Oliver Super 55 Electrical System - by Dennis Hawkins. My old Oliver Super 55 has been just sitting and rusting for several years now. I really hate to see a good tractor being treated that way, but not being able to start it without a 30 minute point filing ritual every time contributed to its demise. If it would just start when I turn the key, then I would use it more often. In addition to a bad case of old age, most of the tractor's original electrical system was simply too unreliable to keep. The main focus of this page is to show how I upgr
