The outfit which got over had
orders to seize any opportunity it
could for crossing the Rhine.
From the company commander,
the word went up to the battalion

commander that we could cross.
Without q moments hesitation
the entire front company went
across and tonight its bridgehead

1t reminded me of our Anzio

be difficult to- keep such position

can contribute to the war against

Beyond him sat his wife and the
wives of the other sons, Mrs. James

Two vacant chairs separated the
Roosevelt family from the 200 men
and women representing the great

In the same row as The family sat
