Okay, how sweet is this. Thank you for the recognition John! 
The new issue of the Army Engineer has a double winner for us. I knew it was going to publish our great historian,Marion Chard's Story on the 540th in WWII. It is a dandy and she is a great friend of the 36th and maybe we can convince her to do the same for the 36th.
But, hold the phone! In the same issue is a story about the old 36th 2nd and 3rd Battalions getting together again, in Iraq. Right now they are the 14th and the 19th Engineers and we feel as close to them as anyone who has ever worn our seahorse.
Go now , on the double, and get a copy from your library or, if worse comes to worse, buy one.
36 Engineers are rugged......John Fallon II. Capt. USA Ret.
And a second email!
I knew you would ring the bell. What a great story and I do hope you can adopt us as honorary dads. I know we are all proud of you.
