Announcements;
6/2009 Due to many people asking me, I want to let everyone know, I am still maintaining this website, and will be until either the internet is gone, or I am. Whichever comes first. I put over 10,000 hours into building this place. I will never just let it go. Plus, my father has this website address on his gravestone for when he passes away. So that means I need to keep it up forever!
6/15/2007 It is with great sadness that I report after 61
years, the 150th Combat Engineer Battalion Association has now disbanded.
Due to the deaths of many of the prominent members, as well as the health
of others, it was decided that a great association disband. Through the years,
they have manage to over come anything that was ever given to them as an
obstacle, from the day the 150th Combat Engineer Battalion was formed, until
now. These men have managed to do something VERY few have ever been able
to do. They where able to stay close, all the way from Basic Training in
1943, though one of the worst wars this nation or world has ever seen, until
64 years later, when they have said there last farewell.
On a personal note, I managed to get to know many of these great men, and
would do almost anything for them, as I consider them all like family. I
wish the surviving members of the outfit the best of health for their remaining
years. I hope you all will have fond memories of your times getting together
with your buddies. I was not informed, and did not know of the 61st reunion
that was held, and it saddened me to hear only 8 members were able to attend.
You will always be held close in my heart.
Are you a WWII vet? Or do you remember stories your dad told you about his time in WWII? Email it to me. I have created a new section to the website, for stories from WWII, from non 150th members.
