My dad died when I was young. He was a combat engineer in WW2 but I am not sure what unit he was with. I know a few things about his experiences, such as his unit was involved with "heavy ponton" bridges. I know that he crossed the Remagen bridge before it collapsed.

 

His name: Thomas R. Burns

 

I have various stripes from his uniforms, looks like his highest rank was Staff Sergeant.

 

I have a lot of old boxes to go thru and am sure that I come up with more information.

 

I will share what I turn up on this forum
