VETERAN'S DAY- I just want to take a minute to thank ALL Veteran's who have taken the oath and served this country. I especially want to thank all of those "Redlegs" that have worn now, as well as in the past, the crest of the 17th Artillery. God Bless our nation, our troops, and our leaders during these times. Richard Smith-Chaplain.

Re. Susan Dahlin (Bill's wife) I received this Sep.29th. Sorry for the delay. Susan will be released shortly from Methodist Hospital Mansfield shortly. There has been no conclusion about what is causing her shoulder and neck pain. She had two Tylenols earlier for pain and (for the time being?) she is feeling a lot better. Thank you for your support. It means a lot to Susan and is very helpful. God bless you and Patrick! In Christ for Christ, Brother Bill Remember cards, calls, emails, and prayers o a long way!

Ref. SUSAN DHALIN (Bill's Wife) Susan was in a lot of pain of and much more yesterday. We took her down to the Mansfield Methodist Hospital at 10:30 p.m. last night. She had an heart catherization at 9:00 a.m. this morning. There were no heart blockages. I suspect she may have had neck spinal cord damage, an upper body fracture, joint damage or arthritis. ??? I and daughter Cynthia are here in the recovery room with her. She is recovering pain, bruises and joint damage from a fall at home about a month ago. In Christ, Brother Bill Remember cars, calls, emails, and prayers go a long way!

REF. HARRY FETSICK- I received the following email from Dan Reeves Wed. Sept.6,2023. “Received call from Rosie Fetsick that Harry went back in VA hospital last week. His leg got infected again. They had to do surgery to get the infection out for the 4th time. He is in a different rehab facility in Pittsburgh. He is really down and aggravated with everything. He said, there's no way I can attend the reunion this year. They had t do surgery again to get the infection out. His phone at rehab hospital is 412 349-1044.” I spoke with Harry’s wife Rosie yesterday also. She said Harry was very down and hoped he could come home around Sept.14th. He has to be on antibiotics for three weeks. I managed to speak to Harry and he was down due to having to have the knee taken care of again and back between staying in the hospital/rehab. He said he’d love to hear from the members. (The phone # is correct for his facility.) We had prayer together and feel that it would help him to know that he could use a lot of them at this time and Rosie as well. Cards can be sent To Harry at WOODHAVEN REHAB CENTER (No home addressees placed on this site due to this being a public web site) 2380 McGINLEY RD. MONROEVILLE, PA. 15146 Remember cards, calls, emails, and prayers, go a long way! Richard-Chaplain

REF. DON BROOKS-I spoke with Don today and he informed me that his daughter is home from the as of two days ago and they feel that they have gotten all the cancer from her tonsils. Don also advised me that his wife will be seeing Dr. soon in reference to two tumors on her kidneys. He sends his regards to the association for not being able to attend the reunion this year. Please keep this family in your prayers. Remember cards, calls, emails, and prayers go a long way!

Ref. JACK LAMBERT- I spoke with Jack today. He has to see a surgeon on 16 Aug. to have carotid artery surgery. The actual date for surgery hasn’t been set yet.

Ref.-HARRY FETSICK- After a couple of days of playing phone tag Harry and I “connected” today. He is home now and has had the surgery needed on his knee. He says it’s a thin layer of skin over it with some oozing from it. He saw the Dr. yesterday and returns in two weeks to see his surgeon. Calls would be appreciated or cards being he’s been in and out of hospitals and rehab centers over seven months. Please remember him in your prayers as well. Remember cards, calls, emails, and prayers go a long way!

Ref.: Bill Dahlin- update received a few minutes ago. "The treating doctor came by and examined my lower right leg about 2:30. It’s shininess has reduced some with some lessening of the red cherry 🍒 color; but it is still hard and swelled. The hospital will continue to treat me with antibiotic drips for awhile. I explained the history of my large leg blisters/ulcers, swelling and previous lengths of treatment: 2-3 weeks. The doctor said I should make an appointment with my dermatologist for next week, which I did: 10:15 next Tuesday, April 11th. The doctor did not say whether or not or when or maybe I’d be discharged from MCA. Prayer requested, Brother Bill Remember cards, calls, emails, and prayer go a long way!
