Even though I placed this on Bill Vander Wall's page, I thought it would be great to have a copy right here on the forum because of the history behind this flag.

Bill carried this very flag onto the beaches of the North African shores in November of 1942. As you can see, the flag made it through the war and is still in very good condition.

Bill had sent it home to this parents during the war and they took a pic with it then. When I spent a weekend with Bill and his wife in August, I took a pic of them with the flag almost 63 years later. It's quite a site. Fly on American Glory!

292nd Engineers

Yesterday Lee and I started re-watching the series, Winds of War. This is probably the 5th or so time I've seen it and I still love it. Both of us have also read the book and the series that follows, War and Rememberance.

If you haven't seen the series, I strongly suggest that you take the time someday. It gives you a good feel for the entire war and the series of events that led up to it. It follows the lives of several individuals in America, Italy, Germany, Poland, etc.

The book is by Herman Wouk and the mini-series is based on his books.

Since I get a lot of question regarding the Korean War and it's engineers, I thought I would post this link here:

Very informative chronology on the Normandy Invasion.
