Received this letter from Darrel Pace today, trying to help the following woman:
Good morning Marion,
I love the addition of the photo gallery to your website. It looks really great!
I had this request come in yesterday and I was wondering if you had this information since I do not. Can you help them?
Keep up the good work!
Sincerely,
Darrell Pace

Hello,
I'm not sure if you can help me. But I was looking for an insignia or symbol of a certain branch of army. It is for WW2 78th Infantry Division, 303rd Combat Engineering Batallion. My grandfather served and I was looking to get a tattoo of the branch he served under. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks so much,
Kelly

Attaching b&W images of the engineer crest. This is from a book of mine. Still looking for a color crest.
I will get back with you, if I find anything else.
Warmly,
Marion
