Well the gentleman, Mr. Orlando is entitled to his opinion as is anyone else, but John and I just got done discussing it and we are still going ahead with our plan. It's only one man's opinion and I mean no disrespect, but he stated that the Army made a mistake and probably many mistakes giving out CIB's to engineers. Well we can also turn that around and say that Army made mistakes and didn't give them to the men who also deserved them. It works both ways.
Anyway to be fair to him and others, I printed his letter above, but it is also our prerogative to disagree with his viewpoint.
Essayons, the fight shall continue...
Marion, after re-reading the above article and reading your response, I think I will withdraw my application to the C.I.B.A. I just looked at my ORIGINAL CIB in my shadow box and makes me wonder how much talk there is about it. I have had mine since Nov. 1943. Rocky
