Paul:

While the Association appreciates your interest in our Group; Operation Market Garden is not supported or authorized by the Association or by the 401st Historical Society (our UK affiliate).

Graham has concerns about this event, and several other groups have withdrawn their participation in this event, due to the inclusion of Axis SS units. Graham asked us if we had authorized or sponsored anyone to publicize this event or participate on behalf of the association.

Art Seder, Graham and I have discussed this issue and as stated above, we have not and will not give the approval of our association for this event. We do not think this event, or, posts pertaining to this event are in the best interest of our Association. These posts will be deleted and any future posts will also be refused. If you have any questions, please contact me directly.

Sincerely,
George H. Menzel (ghmsez@401bg.com)
Executive Vice-President

Dear Mr Menzel,

I fully understand the Association's decision, and hope I have not caused any offence or upset.

I will refrain from mentioning the event, and concentrate on other projects to assist the Association now and in the future.

Best wishes,
Paul
