The men in this company & 558 MP Co. were taken from line outfits, all with the CIB. The honor guard used to put on all sorts of marches for all high ranking General's incluning president elect Eisenhower, Mark Clark, William K Harrison, Weyland (air force) to name a few. They were in the 8th Army Hq. compound,we in 558 MPs were across road in our own compound! Was just beautiful to watch them do there thing for all VIPs! Writing these things to you is helping me to remember more & more! Sincerely, Howard S Nowotarski
