Some good "at the front comments and thoughts", one about their coleman stoves and how they would rather have one, then their helmet. Also how they would store them in the German Gas Mask container.

I'm not sure about the other gentlemen, but, Stanley Setka is alive and living in Riceville, Iowa. I recently mailed invitations to 108 Red Bulls (and widows of Red Bulls) for a reunion we held in Mason City, Iowa. Mr. Setka replied to the invitation, but, said he was unable to attend. I had also seen this article and thought that I would print it out and send it to him along with some photos of the reunion and a roster of the other Red Bull's names and addresses that I've compiled. Unfortunately, every year, when I mail out the invitations, I receive news that some of the Bulls have passed away. I put all of the obituary information I receive in a memorial book and take it along to the reunions for those who attend to see.

That is fantastic! Please tell them that the surviving 442nd RCT veterans still fondly remember them and hold them in great respect! Likewise there are fewer and fewer of them every year.
