My fiance and I attended the biannual event this weekend. I would just like to express how much fun we had. It is a great event, the Rangers are a great host unit and do a fantastic job. You know your having a good time when Allies and Axis are laughing together! The location is beautiful, the folks are friendly, and the event is just great. I can't say enough about how much fun we had. We look forward to attending WWII Weekend next month. (April 23-25) And attending the December Riverbattle at the end of 2010. Thank you for a wonderful event, we look forward to future events.

Just wanted to say that the FSSF had a great time at the River Battle this year. It was a blast, can't wait till JB

Hi, My father, Anson Clark, was in the rangers with the 2nd Infantry division during D-Day. I believe that he was injured near Brest, France while assigned to the 29th Infantry Regiment (not completely sure of that). He was awarded a Purple Heart for his injuries and 100% disability via congressional award. I am trying to find out about a special skull and bones that was on the sleeve of his dress uniform. I can find no information so I am assuming that it was some kind of field insignia that wasn't issued by the army. Unfortunately, my step mother trashed his uniform while I was serving in the army during vietnam. I believe that the 2nd Rangers was the shoulder patch on his uniform but my memory is just so good since I am now 60 years old. Dad died in 2002. Any information about this insignia would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Anson, Jr FYi, neat web site.

I would to thank all of the re en-actors for taking the time to help pass on the history of all Rangers. My father was in 3rd battalion Eco, and was in the Anzio Invasion. I am honored to be a Ranger daughter and an honorary member of your group.

Will you fellas be having the riverbattle again this year? If so, what weekend? We're trying to fill out our calendar for the rest of the year & there is talk about having an event up north about the same time you normally have yours (in this case, 12 December). If this is actually your date, I'll try to steer our guys to a different weekend. Some of our guys have come over the last couple of years & had a good time.
thanks,

I like the way your site is been set up. I can really find many informations and standards that I need here. WELL DONE. And I love the way you made the whole organisation as truth to the real thing as anyone can possible do so. GREAT JOB!!!! You guys set the standard!!!!

Our father, Raymond F. Alm, was a 2nd Btn. Ranger who landed DDay on Omaha Beach. He and our mother Audrey were active all of their lives after the war in the Ranger Battalions Association. My brother Don and I attended the bi-annual Ranger reunions for many years with Mom and Dad and have fond memories of so many of Dad's wartime comrades. Mom and Dad are both gone now. In their memories Don and I and other family members will be visiting WWII Weekend this year and are looking forward to meetings Rangers, new and old. To anyone reading this who knew Mom and Dad please respond to rick_alm@hotmail.com to arrange a get together at the WWII site.

With heartfelt greetings and thanks to every Ranger,

Gentleman I want to give you some big kudos to your website very impressive as well as user friendly. It's come a long way from the old one when I was a member of that fine outfit 2nd Rangers. Keep it up and this will be a great resource for me in the future.

Like the website, I am trying to do the same here in the UK, We are based in Hull mainly doing living history lessons for local schools.

As such the appearance and character of all members is vital.

Keep it up.

Major G Slater, 1st Ranger Battalion.

Just thought I'd take a look at your progress as I am just killing time this morning. Your work never ceases to amaze me. This site is looks absolutely beautiful to say the least. Congratulations!

Hi from belorussian reenactors of the 2-nd Ranger battalion!

My grandfather was a Ranger with the 2nd battalion during the D-day invasion. He would be proud to know that what was accomplished there and campaigns that followed are not forgotton.
