Esteemed veterans thank you so very much for sharing your memories, a couple questions if I may:

How did your family feel about you joining the military?

Did you have other family members who were in military service or served at an earlier time?

Hugs,

Can anyone tell me what type/size unit of combat engineers had their own radio operator during WWII? For example, one radio operator per platoon, per squad, etc?

Thanks,
