As many of you know, the motto of the 36th Combat Engineers' is RUGGED!
Received this letter from our friend John Fallon this weekend. Well I got a big kick out of it and I thought you might too. He is referring to when we left Lebanon, PA, after the latest reunion we had the week of Sept 21-24, 2006.
On the Day we were leaving Lebanon I said goodbye to Bob Felker and told him to have a safe trip home. He immediately told me that he wasn't going home, he was going up to NY to see one of our old buddies who can't get around.
Jut today I got a phone call from Bob and hoped he got home OK. He said he wasn't home yet. After NY he went to Virginia for a while and then to Philadelphia and he was calling me from Pittsburg. He also said he might go home next week.
And the guy is 90, a really RUGGED SEAHORSE!
36 Engineers are rugged......John Fallon II. Capt. USA Ret.
BTW, am posting a photo of BOB. That's John Zappitello on the left next to Bob.
