The really exciting thing about this profile page is # 1 it is public (my choice of privacy) and # 2 anyone on the www can add additional information, people, pictures, memories, etc to this page. I haven't found a lot written about the 146th and have hopes others will find this page and add to the history of the unit, therefore preserving the unit history of this important outfit during WWII. My dad earned seven battle stars while serving with this group. Some of their campaigns were: Invasion of Normandy, 6th June 1944, Omaha Beach; Liberation of Paris, Battle of the Bulge, Rhineland + others. I was fortunate to locate one of my dad's army buddies and he graciously sent me a timeline of his (and my dad's) travels, battles, etc. He also sent me pictures and I am blessed to have my dad's WWII scrapbook.
Stay tuned as I add a few pictures and a timeline to this profile.
Additionally, I have created several other Profile pages related to my family history. The public profile pages are:
1. Buena Vista United Methodist Church, Bethel Springs, McNairy County, Tennessee
2. Rose Creek United Methodist Church, formerly of Rose Creek, McNairy County, Tennessee
3. Rose Creek School, formerly of Rose Creek, McNairy County, Tennessee
4. Weona Methodist Church, formerly of Weona, Poinsett County, Arkansas
5. Baptist Memorial College of Health Sciences, Memphis, Shelby County, Tennessee
6. McNairy County, Tennessee
These are my public profile pages and anyone is welcome to contribute or link their family to these pages. I'm looking forward to adding to these pages as well as creating additional profile pages.

Hi "Geneadiva"!
Great profile pages!
The confusing thing about links: Inside the body of a page you need to use "wiki mark-up" code, where you create a link with brackets, whereas if you were to put a link inside a message or memory it's just plain HTML. E-mail me.

Great Blog Post! I love your idea of creating a page for your dad's military unit. I hope more people find the military unit and can add more information, photos, etc to it.

Thanks for stopping by looking for Sion Holly in Mississippi. I've run across that family often while I try sorting out who's who. A friend of mine (passed away a few years ago) descended from Sion Woodson Holley b. 5 Feb 1845 Missippi d. 11 Mar 1918 Boonsville, Wise, Texas. Married in 1866 to Eliza Hazel Hasseltine Newsome. She thought he was the son of William Carrol Holley (1819-1902), son of Sion Holly (1789-1859) m. Martha Bradford -- both died in Tippah, MS. We never could make connection to my Sion (1830-1909) who was the son of John (1797-after 1870) the son of Sion Holly (ca 1765-d. 1836 Anderson SC) I think we both go back to John Holley who died about 1728 in Bertie District, NC. Would love to share info. You can reach me via e-mail on my site.
A great family picture for the face of genealogy post.
