I have heard

some say,MAN we went through some bad sh--. But they don't say that the Combat Engineers went first to clear mines and build bridges so WE could be

safe from mines and walk over the water not in it!!! They should have the C.I.B.

made big enuf to cover their chests. Now this is what I said. anyone disagree??

 

Thanks Rocky. It's nice to hear someone back up the engineers. I still get angry when someone tells me that they shouldn't receive CIB's when they fight as infantry, which combat engineers do frequently. They're out there on the front lines many times and not sitting in some danged office 500 miles away. They are putting their lives on the line all the time. My dad earned his CIB and I am damned proud of him. :pdt34:
