On July 23rd, 2026 we had the great pleasure to welcome Steven & Faye Donahue with the 333FAB guidon at the memorial in Wereth . Thanks to Peter & Sonja Heinrichs, they also could visit the Langer's house and sit down at The Table where the 11 soldiers had their last meal. Steven contacted us with:
"My wife and I will be traveling into the area on a trip celebrating our 25th wedding anniversary. Our itinerary has us staying in Brussels the night before the visit, and stopping at the memorial before we go to our next stop of cologne.
I served in C-333 FA during Desert Storm. I was stationed in Baumholder Germany for 3 years (88-91). After the war ended, our unit/ division (8th Infantry) was deactivated and i was able to get my hands on the company guidon from the widow of the platoon leader. I created a Facebook unit page to round up all those that served in our unit over the years. Every few years, I facilitate a unit reunion of those that can come. I always wondered why I had a Presidential Unit Citation medal on my uniform when I served. Everyone just told me that it was from the guys actions during World War II. When I eventually heard of the Wereth Eleven, I was blown away. I am still in good health and I can't wait to unfold the guidon at the memorial. Steven & Faye Donahue "
Thanks Karl-Heinz Renerken for the great pictures.
