Dear Mr Santagata,

firstly,1 hope you and your family have not had problems with the storm and that you are all in very good health !!

My name is Philippe Bastin and 1 live in Belgium, a few kilometers from Bastogne .

I am interested in the history of the second World War .because I have in my family an Gl, Sergio Moirano (80 Th Division) ,who participate in D-DAY June 6 landing on Utah Beach and the Battle of the Bulge with the Third Army of General Patton.

Sergio is still alive and lives of 5 km from my home.

For this reason I searched for my collection of signed photos of U.S. veterans and I would like to have a signed photo of you at the time of World War II.

This will be a great honor for me!

Thank you in advance and wish you a very good health for your future and all the best for you et your family.
