14th and 19th Engineers - The "old" 36th! - Walt's Daughter - 10-31-2006


Hey Seahorses!! Sharing a letter from Col Mike which I received this morning. :pdt34::pdt34:

 

Marion:

 

I just watched the DVD you sent me with the WW2 materials included, and it's great. You did a fantastic job making it and I'm impressed. I've never done video before. Where did you get the music? I like it!

 

I also want to tell you I received last week an unsolicited article from the 14th and 19th Engineer Battalions who are now serving side by side in Iraq. This is the first time since WWII, when they were both a part of the 36th Regiment, that these units have served together. Officers of the two units wrote a super story including the unit histories from WWII forward to today, and the 36th Engineer Combat Regiment is highlighted throughout. This is an unintended PLUS for the next magazine issue that has your article included. I'm always amazed at how things often come together by themselves. Call it coincidence or whatever.

 

I'm about finished with the magazine, and hope to get it to the printer in a week or so. It ought to be ready to mail around Thanksgiving, and I'm planning on sending you some extra copies to pass around.

 

My best as always, Mike
