re: #386 BlueGrl21

I genuinely did not know. Thank you very much for telling me.

He took pictures in the field. I have over 100 pictures of that bridge when it was found, the pontoon bridge he worked on, and the bridge after it collapsed. He loved talking about it. He died when I was 10.

Oh. My. God.

Please talk to either the Army or the Smithsonian.

Get those pictures saved for our Children.

That is a treasure trove for future historians. Please get them saved properly. His memory deserves it. Oh, lord, one of the men who ran across that bridge knowing it could blow out from under them at any second even as they disabled the German explosives? Yeah, that was one of the US Army’s finest moments in the war.
