Return Bud to his battlefields

I have spent much time in conversation with my friend Lockered 'Bud' Gahs about his memories of frontline combat with the 42nd Infantry Division / 222nd Anti Tank Company. My mission has been to understand Bud's personal role and honor his service, and to compile first hand stories to add to my growing research about these unsung heroes.

Bud shared with me that he’d like to go back, one last time, to see some of the most memorable places of his war service.

Together, we will make a documentary about his memories and this experience of returning to the battlefields to remember and preserve the story of the men of his platoon and their contribution to our freedom.

We need your help to make this possible.

As a liberator, Bud will be a guest of honor at the commemorations for the 75th anniversary of Dachau on May 3, 2020 which will be the centerpoint of our journey together. 

We are asking for your support to help us raise the funds to ensure our crew can travel with him to document his time there, and so that we can widen his journey to include all of his locations.

Thank you so much for joining with us through your belief in our exciting project of remembrance.

Bud and Erin
