Croix de Guerre Citation 247

July 15, 1946

Ben,

            In my travels to France with my father I met a great man at the French Embassy in Washington, D.C.  He is the command Sergeant Major there and he sent me this certificate awarded to the 517th  PRCT in 1946.  I have never seen it before and wondered if any one else has.  See the attached copy.
