Default COMBAT ENGINEERS!

Truly a forgotton warrior in many wars. Don't ever remember seeing a Combat Engineer in pressed boonies or shined boots. Engineers got the job done! Griz and all others should be very proud.......they fought their butts off on Carolyn and kept the jungle away.

Great picture of a Rome Plow. They were D9 Cats, weren't they? It's my understanding that they got the name Rome Plow because the blades were made in Rome Georgia. Griz, is that fact or fiction?

Fact about the name being tied to Ga.(I think).Most of the machines however were Cat D-7s.The D-9 would have been too big..and too heavy.
