I was up late last night browsing the internet when, at around 0200, I came across the 17th Engineers website. At about 0930, I was still reading, wide wake and amazed at the achievements this unit, which deserves a motto like: "No job too tough!"
I'm a retired USAF officer and my last assignment was at USAFE HQ at Ramstein AB, Germany for 3 years; so I know a little about military life with the single exception of combat.
Just wanted to say, "Thanks for the sacrifices and herculean efforts made by everyone associated with the 17th Engineers. Anyone still around from the WW-II days should feel rightly proud of the role they played in defeating the Nazis and bringing peace to a world much in need of it."
Sincerely,
Chuck Stewart
