Hi all.

Is there someone who can provide me more information about Leon T Dreger. I believe he was from L company (if that is possible) That is all I know so far. During the 50th commemoration in 1994 my uncle made a movie and I can clearly see his name and underneath his name stands "L". So that's why I believe that he is in L company.

I couldn't find anything about him on the internet. Maybe there is someone here who has some rosters or anything else. I didn't receive a reply yet from the Old Hickory veteran who I contacted recently

Regards,

Frank

BTW. I posted this one before in another thread but this is the right place to post it so please answer this one .

My name is Roque J Riojas. I have been invited to join this site by j3rdinf.

I am an 83yr. old WWII vet. Lifetime member of the 34th Divn. Assoc.

It became an Assoc. when it was deactivated in '46. I was with the HQ. Co. 1st

Bn. 135th Inf. Regt. The 34th Divn went into combat Nov. '42. Nov. 7 at

Algiers No. Africa and attached to the Divn. was the 109 Combat Engineers.

And they stayed with the 34th thru N. Africa and part of Italy. They were also

used as combat inf.! Several battles, Algiers,Sened Station,KASSERINE PASS,

Fondouk,Hill 609, and after that theGermans were on the run.

It ended around April or May '43. Took anfib. training for the assault atSalerno, Italy Sept. 9,'43. Then it was hell all over again till May 1945! the 34th Divn.

amassed more than 600 days of combat in the two campaigns. Thru all of

this I thank God Almighty for bringing me back home.

I have a cronicle put out by the Army Archives that tells aboutthe 34th Divn.

It's quite long to write it but I could send a copy to Joe (3rdinf) maybe he can

paste it all I have is a laptop and a printer. Anyway this is a short summary

and if you noticed I never said I did this or that, it was WE the RED BULL

DIVN. that did this. Roque Riojas a proud WW II combat infantryman.

I started looking at this site to try and find some information for my father in law who served with the 175th Engineer Regiment from 1942-1945. He has the European African Middle Eastern Service Medal for this service. I am a retired SGM E-9 (mostly reserves) that started out as an infantryman. After my 3 years of active duty I enlisted in the reserves and became a Drill Sgt and then had my MOS changed to Combat Engineer. My last assignment was as a Command Sgt Major in charge of a Battalion of Combat Engineer Drill Sergeants. I find that I am still learning from some of the veterans and experts that post on this site. I may not post as often as some but I will be hiding in the shadows and reading to try an further my education. Thanks for a nice site.

I am a new member here and I am looking for information on the 175th Engineer Regiment during the European African Middle Eastern Campaigns. My father in law was assigned to the regiment on 2 Nov 1942 and was with them til 3 Sep 1945. I am specifically looking for any Unit awards for the regiment such as Meritorious Unit Commendation, Joint Meritorious Unit Commendation, etc . He needs to show proof of one of these awards to qualify for a New York State Conspicuous Service Star. Any help would be appreciated.

Here's is the TRUTH about the Denzel Washington story that's been floating around for a while. I know many of you have already read it.
