MY VOTE WILL STILL BE WITH THE,,,, COMBAT ENGINEERS,,, THEY HAD MORE THAN FOUR TIMES IN COMBAT
ZONES AND AT TIMES AHEAD OF THE COMBAT INFANTRY, CLEARING MINES MAKEING RIVER CROSSINGS
ACCESSIBLE. ALL CARRIED WEAPONS. BUT THEY ARE CLASIFIED AS ENGINEERS NOT INFANTRYCOMBAT.
I AM JUST AN OLD DOGFACE WITH OVER 600 DAYS COMBAT AND I THANK THE COMBAT ENGINEER FOR
WHATTHEY DID. DON'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THE PACIFIC THEATER AS I WAS IN NO. AFRICA AND ITALY.
PLEASE I AM NOT TAKING AWAY WHAT HAPPENED THERE AND MOSTLY THE BATAAN DEATH MARCH !!
I DON'T THINK THE JAPS WILL EVER SAY, SORRY?? HELL NO------------ROCKY 34TH INF. DIVN.---
