Dear List Members: When I was a young boy and we had gone to Bedford Virginia for the summer, I remember the summer of 1944. I remember it was a time of sad faces and broken hearts. Back then I could not really fathom the great loss that Bedford had sustained, but as I have grown older and now know the real story of all our brave solders that hit Omaha Beach on that morning of June 6, 1944, I can realize the great loss that summer long ago held for many Bedford families. I have added a page entitled "The Bedford Boys" to my web presentation, Bedford Photo Gallery, the URL is: http://www.tommymarkham.com/BedfordPictures/BPG-11.htm . When you have time visit this page, I know it will have a lasting effect on you as it has on me. Tommy Thomas A. Markham [email protected] Home Page: http://www.tommymarkham.com

Thanks for your great website. Some time, when you have absolutely nothing to do, ; - } would you please look up the WEBSTER name in your Bedford files? I'm looking back toward late 1700's and early 1800's. Keep up on your website -- we live in California and will probably never get to Virginia so this is especially interesting.

Hey Tommy, To your knowledge, were there any DALTON'S or HURT'S among the Bedford Boys? Thanks Happy Hunting doc ----- Original Message ----- From: "Thomas A.
