Hello everyone. My name is Kevin Meehan and my grandfather, CPL Howard Meehan, landed at Omaha and fought in St Lo during the war. I'm looking for contact with anyone who knew him so I can gather information about his service before a family trip to Normandy and St Lo this spring. Thank you.

Yes and you will want to talk to Mari. I will send you her email address in private. She is plays a huge part in running the reunions for the 297th.
Also here's an article by her featured in Army Engineer Magazine.
Another article featured Mari and I too.
