Camp Roosevelt 1945 - Do you remember?

[roque_riojas]

Marion: Very interesting as I had never heard of a Camp Roosvelt in France so that is new to me. All the "cigarette camps" (about 8 or 10 of them) I knew about, having returned home from one. Camp Lucky Strike I think. Also a renlistment bonus of

$300.00 I never knew about, not that it would interest me to reinlist. Like most of us,

once was enough. But a very good post with information new to me.

Hey Joe,3rdinf, I never heard of any camps like that in Italy. When I was sent home on points, we rode from North Italy to Naples,14 days on boat to N.J. train to Ft. Leavenworth, Ks. Got discharged and was handed a check for $300 bucks and I said goodby to over 600 days combat. half of them on the mountains of Italy.

I mean NO DISRESPECT, just a personal thought just accured to me.--- I would have been nice if we had a flag for every mountain top we captured. rjr
