95. Rocky Mt. News August 3, 2007 They were mountain men, not unlike the trappers who first scoured Colorado's unexplored high country in search of animals. Instead of fur-bearing critters, however, the men of the 10th Mountain Division were hunting other men - German soldiers - in Italy during World War II. The Americans trained at Camp Hale near Leadville before shipping out to Italy, where they fought up that country's spine, the Apennine Mountains, meeting, beating and chasing away their German enemies. Of about 15,000 who went, about 1,000 were killed, and more than four times that were wounded in three months. Despite suffering severe casualties, the 10th Mountain men never gave up, never gave in. And they came home victorious. So about 1,000 - veterans, relatives and friends - are meeting for the last time as the 10th Mountain Division this week at the Denver Marriott Tech Center. After this, their descendents will take over business. Gary Massaro Massaro specializes in covering common folks who do something uncommon. Massaro has been a reporter since 1976.

96. Denver Post Article Reunion's Indelible Memories By Bruce Finley Denver Post Staff Writer 08/07/2007 Tennessee Pass He crouched by the slick, polished slab and traced his forefinger over names chiseled into the granite. "There's Stepnowski. There's Koski," 82-year-old Al Wiedorn said. "Zeigler is almost at the bottom. He's the first one I found dead. Steiner was the second." Awarded Bronze and Silver Stars and a Purple Heart for his own bravery in the face of German fire that night in 1945 on Italy's Mount Belvedere, Wiedorn then paused silently by the monument, indelible memories taking him back. Enveloped in mist, he and about 200 other surviving World War II mountain-warfare veterans on Monday were honoring their 999 dead in what was billed as the final official reunion of their 10th Mountain Division. Monday's ceremony - laying a wreath of red and white flowers, bowing for Chaplain Webster Barnett's prayer to "help them to go safely to their home in due time" - also honored current U.S. troops serving in Afghanistan and Iraq.

97. Rocky Mountain News Article The last reunion of the 10 th Tuesday, August 7 LEADVILLE — Tough guys cried Monday as they stood before a rose granite monument chiseled with 999 names of good buddies who never made it home from the war. The memorial of funeral stone sits on Tennessee Pass, a little more than 10,000 feet above sea level. Scores of men, mostly aged and feeble, gathered in what they say will be their final reunion for a service to commemorate their comrades in the 10th Mountain Division, which trained for World War II about 15 miles west of Leadville at Camp Hale. Even the sky wept from gunmetal gray clouds. Like green bayonets, Engelmann spruce and sub alpine fir towered above the monument, which was erected in 1959. Some men wiped away tears during the service, while others let the rain camouflage their grief. Still others clenched jaws so tight you couldn’t have jammed a needle into their cheeks. The men of the 10th came from Ivy League schools, Wyoming cow country, coal fields and beaches along each coast. Together in rugged training they forged bonds of trust and friendship, some of which endure to this day. Pierre Delfausse is helped by his son, Peter Delfausse, through the remains of the old field house of the 10th Mountain Division's Camp Hale on Monday. This is the last time members of the division from World War II will gather for a reunion. By Gary Massaro
