When I went to San Antonio and on the way back I stayed in Ok. City, with Martha,
she took me to the 45th Divn. Museum there. It is a huge place. It was on a Monday,
last Monday, and it was closed but the Curator was there and when he saw my cap,
(34th Inf. Divn.), he gave me a personal tour, that lasted over an hour. Anyway there
is one HUGE room filled with Bill Mauldins' sketches, BUT the one I was looking for was
not there. So I asked the Curator about it and he rememberd so we went to the office and he found it. and the book. put the open book on a machine and he MADE me a 8x11 copy.
and all he said was, THIS IS FROM THE 45th to the 34th.!!!! What a prize, Bill Mauldin
drew it when the 34th reached 600 days of combat. I walked out of that Museum
like I was 10ft. tall. The Curator standing at the door justa grinin'.
The sketch was of Willie and Joe walking with canes and had beards 2 ft. long
Joes' shirt had the RED BULL patch. Roque,(Rocky)
