My name is Johnny J. Foley. Capt. Richard B. Foley was my great-great grandfather. I was born in Egeria, WV which is close to the Old Foley Place (farm) owned by Capt. Dick.
Would like to hear from you.

Thanks,

Hi there I came across a military photo id for a "Captain TC" of the US Army named "Richard B. Foley". It is dated August 27 1945. The date of birth says 17 Mar 12. Wondering if this is your Great Grandfather?
