Ed,
I am not sure what relationship you are to Major Simon’s daughter but if you will let her know that I will contact the members of Charlie Troop who may have known him so she can talk to them. I must admit that our soldiers are getting older and memories are slowing down.

Gerald is my grandfather. My aunt Cindy was most likely the daughter that reached out she has all of his memorabilia and accolades for safe keeping my little family of 6 went to visit her out near Reno and checked out the stuff displayed it was nice to keep his memory alive but I want to get his story straight if you obtained any info from his squad mates I would appreciate that info so much! Hopefully you are doing well in good health! Can reach me at my email jaysimons2020@gmail.com
