From the 488th Record
The construction, transportation, supply and maintenance
of Bridges this, is the mission of a Light Ponton Company....... There
are some aspects of Army life that no one wants to remember.
But the passage of time often clouds or erases completely many memories
that we would like to retain. To assist you in the years to come,
in recalling the friendships, the pleasant experiences and the humorous
incidents that occurred in periods of training, action and uncertainty--to
keep the memory of these things forever green is-- the purpose of this
book.
