Combat Infantry Badge
I was browsing other headings on this site and found a letter under "VI Corp Combat Engineers" signed by the "Chief, Military Award Board" regarding eligibility for the CIB. I recommend that those who have posted on the CIB site read this letter. It appears to be an old reply to a Congressman who was trying to get a CIB for a non-infantry vet. I seems pertinent to me and I see no good reason to broaden the eligibility 60 years after it was defined.
