THANK YOU to hrvideo and Norman Russell for this OUTSTANDING film. It means so much to me, a WW2 soldier's daughter. Great interview!

Is he still alive? I have a uniform from the 253rd engineer

I don't know if he is alive now. I tried a couple of years ago to track Norman down but he was not at the address I had for him by that time. I was able to locate a relative who said he was in a retirement home and was suffering from an illness. Norman was the youngest man in the 253rd Company A during WWII. -JH
