I can still remember my Grandfather talking about the reunions with his "Army Buddies". And every member of the 157th that I have had the pleasure of speaking with or meeting in person talks fondly of the many reunions they had.
The reunion photographs below are from a wonderful man, Sgt. Alton Heimbach, from C Company, Second Platoon, of the 157th. I do have names for some of the group photographs and am slowly working on trying to put names to the others so if there is a request, I may be able to add those in.

Fantastic. My daughter and I went to the 2008 reunion. We went to a nearby 36th Engineer reunion In Lebanon, and Harold Whiting was there with us, then we left that one and spent a day and night in Hershey with the 157th. Still have our coffee mugs!
