LIFE MEMBER
Back if Card Reads--
The bearer is a LIFETIME MEMBER OF THE FAMOUS THIRTY FOURTH INFANTRY
Division Association. This Division in World War II had the distinction of being
not only the FIRST to land in the EUROPEAN THEATER, but also had more days
in combat(over 600) than any other, and accredited with the capturing more
than 40,000 prisoners. The 34th ranked second to none and stands high on
the scroll of honor among the greatest fiighting units that ever carried the
Stars and Stripes into battle. Makes me proud to be INFANTRY.
