WWI Vets in Dad's unit. Searching for

Date: Wed, 16 Sep 2009 Time: 8:59 PM

Hello everyone,

I am Lou Mingacci Jr. I recently was visiting with my family in Florida. My father Lou Mingacci is 83 a decorated WWII Veteran. While visiting with him we had come across a NAZI flag that was captured and givien to him with 46 names written on it by the people in his unit in that day. I took the liberty of writing down those names in hopes that maybe even one would still be alive today and had remembered my dad and or what they did for so many back then. If you know anyone are related to any of these people please contact me at : servehimdaily@yahoo.com. Attached is a photo of this flag. Below is the names of them as written in that time in the early 1940's. Thanks you. Lou Mingacci Jr.
