Lee and I just finished watching this. When it first came up on the screen, I looked at him and said, that's gotta be the 291st and sure enough it was. Great show tonight.
I actually got to talk with Colonel Pergrin a few years back and we corresponded for a while until he got sick. He sent me signed copies of his books, which I truly treasure.
It was wonderful to see something about combat engineers on TV tonight. Bravo! Well done! Here's to the 291st!
