I, Roy Falls, will be in Washington D.C. at the Veterans Memorial on May 6th. In case any of my old buddies see this message, please take note: I had friends in the following units: 93rd Coast Artillery, 78th Infantry Division and the 1259th Combat Engineers ... as well as pre-flight school in 1944 at the University of Vermont. ~ Roy Falls
