Queries on 93rd BG Veterans?

Many inquiries have been received in the past from relatives and friends searching for information on their loved ones. Although we have many resources, we are not always able to provide the information requested. We will in those cases print your inquiry in our quarterly newsletter to see if any of our members can help. Inquires can be emailed to Webmaster at k8qgc@aol.com or to webmaster@93rdbombardmentgroup.com Please include 93 BG Request in the subject line of your email. If you have previously sent an inquiry or other material, please do so again. We believe we have improved our response time,

The fully indexed archives of the group newsletter from 1993 through 2006 are now posted on this web site. The archive can be accessed here.
