Donations add up for 1st Bn 394 plaque
The 6/99 and 1/00 issues of the Checkerboard carried stories about the possibility of erecting a plaque near the Losheimbergraben Crossroads, in the Belgian Ardennes, in recognition of the valiant stand of the 1st Bn 394th Infantry Regiment during the bleak bitter hours of the beginning of the Battle of the Bulge.
Since then members have stepped up to the challenge and donated more than $3,000 to the plaque fund. Donations include:
