THANK ! YOU GENERAL CASEY Chief Of Staff US Army.
Purpose of this web site is to honor all Veterans who served with the 13TH ENGINEER COMBAT BATTALION since its inception. Especially those who gave the Supreme sacrifice. Also I wish to use this site to inform those who served of the opportunity to join THE
13TH ENGINEER COMBAT BATTALION ASSOCIATION. Post Reunion information and post information to help you and myself locate our Army Buddies.
Don Bohrer..
GUEST SPEAKER We are honored to have as our guest speaker
Brigadier General MAURICE D. ROUSH (Retired)
General Roush served as a Platoon Leader of the 2nd platoon
Company C 13th Engineer Combat Battalion in Korea 1950 - 1951. He was one of the Chosen Few having served in that battle area. His good friend Lt. John C. Westcott was killed at the Chosen. Both of their platoons were attached to the 31st Infantry Regiment. The D.O.D. is seeking DNA from Lt. Westcotts family members as his remains may have been recovered. I am sure the General will share some of his experiences about his service with the 13th as well as enlighten us on how the Army has changed in the past 50 plus years. We are looking forward to a very interesting and educational evening.
