Dan Niles Posted May 22, 2014 Share #1 Posted May 22, 2014 I had a few requests to post my dad's items from his days of service with the 36th division, 143rd, K company. This post will be very pic heavy. I hope some of you that like the 36th enjoy this and if there is anything in particular you what more of or different pictures of let me know. Thanks Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
