« Your book has been a godsend as Andy has looked at the pictures and read parts many times already. He is a reader and we are so thankful. We will treasure the knowledge enclosed and our two sons, Vietnam survivors, will enjoy reading it also. Andy has been enjoying the photos and the memories the book has brought back to him. He has it in his hand nearly every time I visit him at the hospital and relates to many of the pictures. Thanks again Michel. Airborne All the Way. »

« Mr. De Trez, Have you considered writing about the 507th? I have read the books out there about the 507th and I know you would do a wonderful job. Your style of writing and your photographs are amazing. My uncle, Russell Dillard, was a pathfinder with the 507th in HQ/2nd and arrived in Normandy on Plane 14. He lost his life on June 23, 1944 near Amfreville. I look forward to reading your upcoming books. »
