April 16, 2025 Crestview, Florida Staff Sgt. Justin Day (not shown) a medically-retired 24th SOW Combat Controller and Purple Heart recipient, received the home from Building Homes for Heroes, a nonprofit organization committed to rebuilding lives and supporting injured veterans.

Yes.  Really  huge ugly rectangular building.  The Battlefield Trust bought it and will soon demo it   They would love to also  purchase and vaporize McDonalds and KFC.    

I looked up the history of Ronald Rosser, an Ohio MOH recipient from the Korean War. Lots of photographs on his obit but this period photograph stuck out to me. Rosser is pointing to 12 marks on his carbine. Kill markings?  His obit claims he was responsible for 13 enemy kills. Can't say I've seen anything like this done by an infantryman.

A few from FIG Battle of the Bulge and Ft Dix Battle of the Bulge back in 80s-90s, those were the days.

I didn’t know that but the place was really an eyesore.

If you care to go to F.T.s website, you might sift through the "Knife Knotes" files. There is a lot of very interesting info posted there, and possibly more on the CUK in question...   http://www.usmilitaryknives.com/archive_writing.htm  

Nice group and story, I was once part of the 5th ID myself and have always had a soft spot for their WWI and WWII history.   Scott

And his old museum will soon be bulldozed to “restore” the battlefield 

To be frank I never served for any recognition. I just wanted that GI Bill.   

Welcome aboard ! I hope you will enjoy your time with us. Lots of great people around, have fun !   Tony
