My dad was from Ada, OK and served as a Combat Engineer in the 303rd, 78th Division. I have the same small dusty box many of you do. It has his Bronze Star Medal, campaign ribbons, old coins, etc. Also found his scrapbook, unit history, and maps. As a child, I knew Dad was in the Army, but never heard him talk about much. Only now, after starting to research his history, have I realized how much these young men did for us. I am so proud of him. Would love to hear from other vets and their kids. Wonderful Website!
