THANK YOU to Joe Fonte and his family. He's where ALL Brave Men are.
I think I might be able to help some. It's been a long time but you never forget "The Guy's" or some of our experiences.
I'm John Stenmo I was Doughboy 11 of the Aero-Rifle Platoon , Squad Leader 1st squad for about half my tour.
I knew Joeseph Fonte, he was crew chief on our "slicks" and probably "gunned" for the Crusaders too.
