Hello all,
I recently spent a day with my step-dad, Johnnie "JJ" Jones. He is 88 years old, is sharp as a tack, and is enjoying his 2nd retirement period! There was a recent local newspaper article written about him in the local paper (Chronicle-Independent, Camden, SC) in which he described some of his military service experience in WWII. During our time together he mentioned that he'd like to get in touch with some of the guys in his company (Company B 1264th Combat Engineer Battalion). He last attended a reunion in 1993. I would love to help him make contact with others from the 1264th. So, if you served with this company/unit, know someone who did, or if you remember him, please contact me. I so want to make this happen for my Pop!
I attach the newspaper images/story for your perusal.
Thank you!!
