VZW's Military Tributes is
a
Web collection of photographs and stories honoring
veterans
of the United States Armed Forces.
This site is dedicated to my father, Lewis D. Whaley,
who served in the 596th Signal
Support Company, 97th Signal Battalion, in the 1960s,
and my late grandfather, Starlin H. Hughes, who served
in the 47th Infantry Regiment,
9th Infantry Division, during World War II.
Aside from maintaining this site, Vincent Z. Whaley
is a Tennessee journalist who has spent the past eight
years researching and writing a book on the history
of the 9th Infantry Division during World War II.
Whaley is compiling the largest collection of memoirs
of 9th Infantry Division veterans to be included in
a book along with the history of the division during
World War II and photographs of the "Octofoil's"
former battlefields and headquarters in Europe.
Veterans of the 9th Infantry Division's three infantry
regiments during the Second World War — the 39th
"Fighting Falcons," the 47th "Raiders,"
and the 60th "Go-Devils" — are being
sought for interviews for Whaley's book.
If you are a World War II veteran who served in the
9th Infantry Division, please contact Whaley at tributes@whaley-computer-consulting.com
for an interview. Your gallant achievements during
the Second World War will be remembered forever in
Whaley's
book, which will be a tribute to the veterans and
a
stark reminder to their families and friends of their
gallant sacrifices during World War II.
Thank you for visiting VZW's Military Tributes!
