Email I Received from his daughter

Hi, 

My Father was James L. Garvin, Jr.  Based on his discharge papers, he was a member of the medical detachment unit of the 643d Tank Destroyer Battalion.  I didn’t see his name listed on your website and thought I would contact you to see if it should be added. 

My Father passed away nearly thirty years ago.  My sisters and I were recently looking at a photo album that has many wonderful pictures from the war.  As precious as those photographs are to us, I thought there might be others who would like to see them and would be willing to share them if I knew how.   

It also goes without saying that I would be thrilled if there were any possibility of finding a soldier still living that served with my Father that I could contact.  I was in my early twenties when my Father died and had not came of an age where we discussed his role in the war. 

I am not sure what your relationship is to the 643d but am sending this out to see who I might reach.  Any additional information you have would be great. 

Thank you much,

Marsha Garvin LePhew
