This book is a collection of stories, memories, photographs told by the men and women of the 440th Signal Battalion from its beginning in 1942 to its inactivation in 2007.
I began gathering stories after attending my first 440th alumni reunion and heard so many great stories from other alumns who had served. These men were not getting any younger and I realized tonce they stopped coming to reunions (or passed awy) that those stories would be gone as well. This book is the result of over six years of research and conversations with former 440th members.
