The Sergeant John W. Gabersek Jr. Memorial Scholarship

A Family Tribute to Our Greatest Generation

Featured Story - When we were young.  A collection of memories from D-Day June 6th 1944.

These are the stories of 12 members of one family, who, combined with our allies, restored freedom across the globe in WWII.  These men were part of the 16 million men and woman serving in uniform for the United States of which 430,000 gave their lives to accomplish this hard fought victory; one of them being my great uncle Amin.  All of my uncles have now passed away into history but you can relieve their experiences by clicking on their portrait below or other areas of this site from the page links here and there.  In 2009, my cousin James and I visited France to honor our family heroes which never returned home.  Please be sure to visit that page if no where else.  Thank you so much for visiting my site made in their honor!  Eric "Stitch" Montgomery

Below, a promotional video for D-Day Conneaut which I produced.
 This event is an excellent recreation of the elements leading up to and during the D-Day Invasion.
The event is FREE to the public and living historians alike.  I will see you there as I represent the 6th Beach Battalion.
