Ralph C Horner

Comments: My father would NEVER talk about his service with the Airbourne Rangers in the early 1950's. I know he was behind enemy lines and spent some time in Europe during his service. I am not certain what Units he served with but believe he was part of some elite group of Rangers. Anyone that could help me learn more about his time with the Rangers please contact me. I am SOOOOOO very proud of him and want to able to pass this along to his grandchildren.

Comments: Hello, My oldest brother told me that my father was with 13th Rangers I know that he was in the Army and had parachuted and landed in a jeep broke all of his teeth and his ankles. (it was a night jump) My father passed away Easter Sunday March 23,2008. He was laid to rest in the Veterans cemetery in Exeter R.I.

My father had stories that he had told us of his time in the service and of people he had never forgotten. My father had Dementia at the end of his life and was very distressed when he spoke of people he lost and was mourning from his time in the Military. (I guess in his mind) he visited a fellow soliders grave all of the time and he cried for him. Although we knew full well that he hadn't gone anywhere that day. He had one story about having caught on fire in the foxhole I believe because he was so close to it due to the fact that it was bitterly cold. And an African American man putting him out with his coat and of course saving his life. He had another story of someone that carried pepperoni in the jacket and when things were bad He would give my father some of it I think just to lighten things up and my father told us how upset he was when this man was killed in action. When my step mother passed away (he was lost without her) and the Dementia was in it's begginings he would visit a friend that owned a junk yard -autos. and they would sit around and talk, when lunch time came they would invite him in for lunch and he would decline and sit in his truck to eat pepperoni, crackers and cheese. I so wish that I could remember the names of these people in these storied but unfortunatley I do not. It would have been nice to tell the families of these people how he had never forgot them and how somwhere inside him he grieved them still. My father also spent time in Germany.

I would like to hear from anyone that this sounds familiar to. And would cherish any stories of him anyone would care to share. Thank you. Sophie

Information wanted

Comments: While reading the book "To Fight With Interpity" about the U.S. Army Rangers I came across a passage about the 8th Army Ranger Company that mirrored many of my fathers stories about his time in Korea.

Passages about learning to do PLF's from the bed of a moving duece and a half and being attached to a Turkish Brigade. He recieved 3 Bronze Stars and 3 Purple Hearts, but he would never tell us about his combat experiences or what units he was assigned to.

His name was Guy Orsini jr.

If any body remembers a tall skinny Italian fellow from Ohio I would greatly appreciate the information.

Three men were captured from (I believe) the 8th Ranger unit. My father was one those three men. His name is Gene Goetz. Another, named Frank Levesy (sp) and the other I'm saddened to say I do not know. They were a tough breed that escaped their captors. I'm happy to say so or I wouldn't be here! I'm looking to find more information about/possibly meet/have a reunion for the other two men that escaped with my father. Thank you in advance.

Sincerely, Karl Goetz

LT Pickett

Comments: I'm an Active Duty Officer in the U.S Army. In 1993 while assigned to the U.S Army School of the Americas at Ft Benning, Georgia I had the opportunity to attend the School Commandants Retirement Dinner at the Officers Club, sitting in the same table with me and my wife was the person I later learned was LT Pickett and his wife. Although we introduced each other and our wives, we just had a short casual conversation. It wasn't until a few weeks later while at the Infantry HQ's building at Ft Benning that I noticed a Ranger Hall of Fame display and read LT Picketts citation for bravery.

The biggest regret I have is that no one had informed me prior to then that I had been sitting at the same table with a Korean War hero. I wish I would have known so I could have done some research and could have talked to him about his experiences in Korea. I do recall his wife (a lovely lady) telling me that they'd met while he was in the post hospital recovering from his wounds; I got the impression that they had retired in the Columbus, Georgia area. Anyway I'd thought you'd be interested.

He was also awarded the CIB from his time in Korea. One last thing, in a matter of months he went from PFC to Sergeant how common was that? Does it mean he was an exceptional soldier? Thank You.
