I recently found a copy of my Father, Richard L. Hart, "DD-214" from WW II.

He was with the H & S Co, 39th Engineers in WW II. His battles and campaigns included Sicilian, Naples-Foggia, Rome-Arno, No Appennines and Po Valley.

His decorations & ribbons include European-African-Middle Eastern Theater ribbon with 1 Silver Star, 4 overseas Service Bars and a Good Conduct Medal.

He was drafted December 19, 1942 in Hancock County, Iowa. He served 2 years, 4 months and 29 days overseas.

He passed away August 27, 1992 and is buried in Loveland, Co

I will be doing research on Charles A. Scott of the 36th Combat Engineers. I acquired all his uniforms and equipment and will be creating a display. This site seems to be the perfect place to start researching him.

Admin reply: Welcome. Great to hear from the son of a 36th'er! Lot of info on the main site and the forum. We're having a reunion in Sept in PA. Info on this on the forum too.

Hello, it's June 6, 2012 and I would always call my Dad, Billy F. Reiter and thank him for his service. He was a PFC in HQ & Service Co. 359th General Service Bn. He enter the Army in Jan. '43, did his bootcamp at Camp Clairborne, LA. He arrived in Scotland July '43, entered the Liberation of France 6/6/44 assigned to an infantry that came ashore at Dog Green, Omaha Beach. Dad was a M1 Sharpshooter, a Truck Driver, Light 345, ran the Red Ball for a while until they returned him to the "pipeline". A Army buddy, PFC Horace Davis, visited Dad before he passed away and I ask Mr. Davis if he knew what Dad did on D-Day. He said he had a load of TNT for the Combat Engineers who made it ashore to use to clear more beach obstacles. He said the trucks' machine gunners name was PFC John Walker, infantry group unknown but he believe he was with the 29th Infantry. Dad separated from the Army in Dec. 1945. His s/n was 35 600 222.

Admin reply: Hello, we also have info on the 359th on the forum. Stop on by. All the best to you and yours!

My father was in the Army Corps of Engineers. He never spoke of it other than how a man saved his life by carrying him to their destination. I would like to know about his war history and the men he served with in the corp.
