Hi Melissa: ( I emailed her this morning.)

 

Saw the info below on another forum. I will also post your info on my forum. I am the daughter of a combat engineer and created a site to honor him and his fellow engineers.

 

I will try and get you some information. I have several engineer books and will look up the 146th and get back with you.

 

Please stop by my site and take a moment to sign the guestbook and visit our forum.

 

Marion's note: This info was already given to her on that forum....
