229256 Tech Sgt. Antonio Scibilia United States Army 992nd Engineer Treadway Bridge Coy My grandfather would never speak to me about his duty and honor in the military. All I know is that he was a Tech Sargent in the 992nd Engineer Treadway Bridge Company from 17th May 1944 to 7th June 1944 and was awarded a medal for keeping all of the vehicles in his group operational. I know this is a strech and that I probably won't get a reply, but does anyone know what his group did and what battles they may have been present in?
Update
My grandfather Leo Whaley from Bridgeport, CT also served in the same company during WWII. I have some of his military records that show what battles they were involved. The 992nd landed in Normandy around D-day 6th June 1944 and went right up to the end in Germany. They built treadway bridges across some major rivers during the war. They even received a Presidential/unit citation for completing a bridge in record time while under heavy enemy fire. (Mike)
