Good News - Vernon listed in Online Database

I have made a few attempts to get Vernon recognized in online databases devoted to World War II combat veterans.  What I have found so far is that not only is Vernon not listed, but there seems to be no record of the 757th Tank Battalion whatsoever.

I received an email this morning from Allen Cooley at the World War II History Center in El Dorado, Kansas.  Outside of the "Vernon Hoschette: World War II Records" website I'm creating, Vernon and the 757th will now be listed in their database:

Mr. Peil,


Thank you for submitting the information and photos regarding your father's service. I have created a personnel file in his name and have added his name, and his unit to our Research Database. You may view the listings by clicking on the links below:

You might also be interested in adding your father's name to our Tribute Gallery. You can learn more about the Tribute Gallery by clicking on the link below:

Please let me know if you have any questions. It is curious that we don't have any other information on the 757th Tank Battalion because we have Harry Yeide's book on the tank battalions of WWII, but there is no mention of it there.
