Don Neder returned to Torbole with his sister Carol and friend Frank, reconnecting with Associazione Benàch and remembering his father, William “Bill” Neder of the 10th Mountain Division.

Six U.S. troops based in Germany marked America's 250th Independence Day by completing the unassisted Darby 40 Miler at Lake Garda, Italy — retracing BG William O. Darby's final route in extreme heat. The march honors Darby and 25 soldiers of the 10th Mountain Division still listed as missing since April 30, 1945. A surprise welcome from Association Benàch awaited them at the finish, where Capt. Javier Pino called it "a humbling tribute and an experience we will never forget.

This Christmas, Association Benàch laid wreaths in Torbole to honour the 25 Missing in Action 10th Mountain Division soldiers, and BG William O. Darby with Sgt. Maj. John T. Evans. Learn more about their sacrifice and our remembrance work.
