Christmas presents come in all shapes and sizes, and this sure held true for me too yesterday when I received this email from Rod O'Barr:

 

Marion,

 

Don't know if you've seen this on my website or not, but these are photos of the second Rhine River bridge built by our fathers units. The sign clearly states that the 85th and the 540th were the units involved in constructing this bridge over the Rhine at Mannheim, Germany. The photos came from the French Ministry of Defense.

 

Hope you have a great Christmas.

 

Best Regards,

 

Rod O'Barr

 

 

These are great photos that show the one of the bridges that our dad's units worked on together. Aren't these sharp?
