December 2024 John, Bill and I presented the Order of Saint George from the United States Cavalry and Armor Association to 101 year old Alfred Consigli.
Alfred was a 20 year old tank crewman in the Battle of the Hurtgen Forest and Battle of the Bulge.
The United States Cavalry Association (horse), the Catholic Bishop of Worcester and Senator Susan Collins sent letters to be read at the event.
John was Bill and I's first battalion commander in 110th Armor in 1986. Bill and I went to Armor Crewman Course together in 1987.
When Alfred died in 2026, Bill and I attended the service in Milford, Mass and I went to the burial at Cape Code National Cemetery.
