Fantastic. Thanks for getting in touch with him. Greatly appreciated.

Hello, I came across this post from a google search. My Dad was in the 294th Co. C and told me this same story (the truck explosion) many years ago. He was one of just a few survivors that were in the immeadiate area. He was knocked out and sent to the hospital for a while, I don't think anyone ever told him what happened.
I was looking for more information on the unit, the one contact I found listed (James Hand) has passed away. If anyone has more info, please advise.
Thanks,
Major Bob Mehm
