New Member- 208th EN from Art Bushon

Hello, VI Corps Combat Engineers Forum!

 

I am the great-great grandnephew of 208th ECB's Arthur (Art) Bushon. He was a KIA in Europe and had no offspring, so I'm doing what I can to keep his role in our family's history preserved. In the short hour I've been a member, I've already found a couple pictures, which is two more than the "zero" I had before- Thank you!

Both my wife and I are army officers- she's an engineer and was stationed in Germany (Mannheim, then Schweinfurt) for awhile, and I'm an FA guy, so our interest goes even farther beyond genealogical. As most of you probably already know, there is a very strong sense of tradition and historical respect in the Europe-based units, and it's humbling to discover my ancestors' role in building that history.

I look forward to meeting you all- thanks for all you do!

 

Kind regards,

Doug Halleaux
