292nd Engineer Combat Battalion (New Member)

[Sir Gator]

Sam,

 

Great to see you back in the "292 fold", my friend! Accept my sincere condolences on the passing of your grandfather. Having just lost my father last year, I feel for you and your family on your loss. As Randy and Marion stated, we all look forward to anything you have to offer to expand the history of the 292nd and the experiences of it's patriots. I'm sure I speak for all when we say take the time you need with your loss and when you are ready we will be here ready to here all about your grandfather and his patriotic pursuits. I also wanted to take this opportunity to thank you so much for your original post and the flicker album that you created. Last year when you posted it I eagerly went and looked through all of the photos and was thrilled to find one that had my grandfather in it. The one I speak of is labeled "The motor pool gang. Made in France." He is kneeling the left soldier of the three. What a gift you have given my family as he had very few photos and almost nothing from his service. I attached the image of yours that I speak of and thank you, again, for this unexpected gift!

 

I will also say what I have in the past, that I will give assistance to anyone who needs assistance in scanning images or documents so that we may better document these great men and their unit. I have a scanner that can scan at extremely high resolution (see one of my previous posts). Again, thanks, my friend! Thoughts and prayers with you and your family.
