Great tribute to the 17th Battalion who "PAVED THE WAY" to lead the way to 7 successful battle campaigns! My dad lived the war everyday after he came home and began the 2nd Armored Division's Reunion Club that met yearly hosted by a solider of the division in their state every Labor Day weekend. But not only that, but my dad also wrote a descriptive book from trainings at Ft Benning to Coming back to America. Chapters of Battles in every detail. The book will be released soon. And you can order at the website: pattonshandofgod.com
For our grandkids and all that need to know how it really was in raw gripping stories for history to remember...
