James Phillip Regan, 2756th Combat Engineers, Company A

[Allie1823]

I am having a tough time believing that he was stateside for close to 3 years before being sent overseas. That just does not make sense. But stranger things have happened. The clipping does not have a date unfortunately. It states he was home after being deployed for 10 months which if you read his discharge paperwork he was overseas for 8 months. Also the clipping says 36th Combat Engineers and his paperwork states 2756th Company A. The timing somewhat matches in regards to him coming home after Christmas. So unless the newspaper had the months wrong and his paperwork is right but I am not sure.
