From Roque:

 

3-7-1 Recon,Joe j3rdinf, My how things change , but I

think it's called progress. The first summer '43 we only

had woolens no fatigues. I got a picture that someone

took of me by a haystack the morning we came off the line.

Don't ask what I did behind the haystack but I had a

trench shovel. Boots and halfway upmy legs still covered

with mud. And I think shortly after that the Lt. came by

and handed me my C.I.B. That is my most prized posession

Andyes I have it in a shadow box along with some other

medals. So RECON,Joe, there might be new CIB's but

they will NEVER match ours. Roque
