HONOR GUARD FIGURINES | |||
|
The lead figurines shown here were
acquired by Harold Eby (Sgt. Major, Ret.) when the 508th was stationed in Heddernheim (Frankfurt Am Mein).
Eby recently sent them to Joseph Synakowski of Grand Island, New York because he had no one to pass them on to. Both men had been members of Co C (note the Company C Guidon in the photos) and served with the 508th from March 1946 until the regiment was deactivated in November 1946. Although Synakowski was not with the 508th in combat, he was a proud member of the regiment during its stint as General Eisenhower's Honor Guard. Synakowski has now donated the figures to the Camp Blanding Museum in Harold Eby's name.. | |||
