    My name is John, age 38 years young, from Washington DC area, and with many family members who fought in World War 2. I have been interested in this particular war since I was a kid; especially the European theatre and Airborne Operations. A Soldier for 19 years and have the privilege to be with the 82nd Airborne in Afghanistan serving under the famous 504th and 505th. I enjoy reading and learning about these two fine Parachute Infantry Regiments and what they did in combat. I look forward to chatting with others with the same interest and learning from you as you might learn from me.

    Thank you for your service John.
    I am joining this thread to see if anyone has info on Seabee operations in the ETO.
    I have some history of the 69th Construction Battalion from the landing until the VE day.
    I am particularly interested in the use of the International M-2-4 truck in Europe.
    I am attempting to convince my fellow reenactors here that it would be proper for me to attend ETO reenactments with it.
    By the way I am from Arizona and the old cowboys here called them "Texicans"
    Considered them kind of "high" on themselves.
