Back to the New
150th Page The Honorable Gillespie V. Montgomery
United States House of Representatives
Washington, D. C. 20515
Dear Congressman Montgomery:
This is a thank you and a request on behalf of the 150th
Combat Engineer Association composed of veterans who served in the original
150th during WW II.
First, it was great and an honor to meet and participate
with you in the outstanding Activation Ceremony of the new 150th Combat
Engineer Battalion. It was obvious that this group of young people will serve
the State and Nation well whenever the opportunity arises.
Second and last, there seems to be some question as to
whether the new 150th can be a part of the old 150th and wear the ribbons and
carry the streamers on the colors that are warranted by unit citations that
were earned by our service in WW II. If possible please take the necessary
action to allow the new unit to wear our ribbons and carry our colors.
In closing, thank you for your many services to veterans
and soldiers. You will be missed.
Respectfully yours,
Robert W Pearl
President
150th Combat Engr. Bn Association
