I do need to clear up one detail. Uncle George was never a part of the 7th Infantry. The patch he is wearing in the picture is what got all this started. This is the story: My Mom was still alive and I was telling her that I was stumped by the patch. Mom started laughing and said that George and his friend (also a Engineer) had gone to town while he was home on leave and decided to have their picture taken. My Uncle thought his friends uniform jacket looked better then his and so used his friends jacket for the picture. I had wasted a lot of time trying to figure this out and she thought it was very funny. You would have to have known my Mom to fully understand but she got a kick out of it.
