I am a son of John Conti who served in the 1254th Engineering Battalion WWII.

 

I came across this site and the book Catfish history of the 1254th yesterday. I was over joyed to see dad's photo in there it was the last picture in the book. He is center of the back row.

Very cool indeed, I hope to get a copy but it seems they are not online.

 

This week I visited dad's VFW post in Bayonne, NJ. They have a museum there with so many items I didn't see it all.

I took my brother Joe, who is a Vietnam vet and we both knew the Commander Glen Flora, he also served in Vietnam.

 

President Nixon gave me a high draft number so needless to say I wasn't drafted, which at the time made my dad happy.


Wow, strange that you mentioned Bayonne, NJ, for I have a WWII buddy who lives there. His name is James Hennessey and he was with the 87th Inf.
