Commendation to 1st Battalion from the 3rd Armored Division and the 36th Armored Infantry Regiment
via VII Corps (Gen. L. Collins) XVIII Corps (Gen. M.B. Ridgway)
Dear Ben,
I am hoping these documents come through. I have three of these Restricted
notices of commendation to the 517th. If you would like me to send the others I
will. The other documents I am sending are of my dad and an unknown soldier.
If you note the background, it is a fake palm and alligator. If anybody
recognizes him, please give me his name. The other item, I thought might bring
back some fond memories to some of you gentlemen out there. Notice the
handwritten note " I spent an enjoyable evening here." I'm glad he had
something nice to remember. :) Hope to see some of you in Toccoa this next
weekend.
Yours,
Heather Cowan Riley
