820TH TANK DESTROYERS REUNION..MODRAK

I am looking for any information on 820th TD BN reunions. My father in law (Chester Newman) was in CO. C recon. He was sent to Camp Swift Texas to help activate the newly created 820th. He was in Co. C recon during the battle of the Bulge. Please contact me at chuckmcclendon@yahoo.com.
Thank you.
Chuck McClendon

My Father, Norman Long, Chicago, Illinois was in the Recon Co 820th TD Bn.
He's been gone since 87. If any of you new him and shed some lite on what he was like when he was younger, my family and I would be forever grateful

Hello Michael, I have published a website for the 820th TD Battalion that is the most definitive on the web. It is at http://820tdbn.org A brief search did not find you grandfathers' name but the names of the recon enlisted men I have is from 1942 (recon cadre) It was the Co my grandfather was in. I would love to correspond with you more about the 820th. Thanks, JH

See 4-4 post re: 820th to Mr. McClenendon. In particular, Mr. Fred Modrak (MI) was in recon. Not sure who else was, but he would surely know. Best Luck. Let me know if I can be of further help.
