My friend, Michael Broadhead, head historian at the Office of History, Army Corps of Engineers, sent me this vignette on Mel Brooks. I think you will find this fascinating.

There's a great quote from Mel:
"I was a Combat Engineer. Isn’t that ridiculous?
The two things I hate most in the world are
combat and engineering.†Mel Brooks
