I saw the lists and I noticed, all were officers, there must be another list for

the personell. Rocky

Rocky, so far this is the only report I found regarding the actual awarding of CIB's within the 540th. However, I have NOT read all the over 2000 pages in my folders, so there could be other recorded instances. At least there IS documentation with was recorded within the 540th Regiment and at 7th Army HQ.

My sentiments only,the Men of the Combat Engineers should have gotten the

C.I.B. first. They were the ones that had their M1s' strapped on their backs

while THEY worked or swept for mines. No one told me and I didn't read it.

Rocky J Squirrel (hey where is Moose - oh ya he's sleeping, he's on England time):

Thanks. You have always stood behind "my engineers" and I (we) truly appreciate your sentiments and your backing. God bless ya!

Much love,

Oh Moose, the forum will not let you upload wave files because they are WAY TOO LARGE! My server space would be gone in a moment. Yikes!

If you want someone to see or hear a video, etc., you will have to provide a weblink to it. Hope that helps!
