Notes:

The story continues...

We received a letter from Major Walter May informing us that Jason was made commanding officer of Company F and promoted to the rank of Captain six days before his death. Papers were not filed due to battle events.

March 15

We have received word that Roger Pillu, who was instrumental in finding and returning Jason’s Helmet, passed away this week in France. Not enough can be said about his dedication to returning the helmet and giving us a sense of peace about the sacrifice of Jason and his five men. Roger will be remembered by us and the readers of our book, Jason’s Helmet.

Our French friends will be visiting us this summer. We look forward to seeing them. Joan, Levy’s sister, and Hilton will also be visiting, making this the second reunion since the helmet was returned.
