Spare a minute
to think
of the young who didn't grow up,
and how young they looked when they died,
and how no one will ever remember them looking tired and middle-aged
or even be bored by tiresome recitals of the time of their youth.
- - - - Russell Baker "How to Observe Dec. 7" (NY Times, Dec. 1965)

One of these names (Fullman) is probably from the June 30, 1947 list compiled by the Adjutant General, and two (Brown, Washington) were found later.

I have checked all these names against the American Battle Monuments Commission's World War II Honor Roll. If you want to check a name on the Honor Roll, click here. You can also check names on the World War II Registry of the National World War II Memorial. If you know of other names that belong on this page, please see the information below about how to contact me. -- Wesley Johnston, Historian and Webmaster, 7th Armored Division Association

Note that some post-war accounts, including official US Army books, mis-identify the 3967th Quartermaster Truck Company as the 3967th Troop Transport Company. The Company's Morning Reports for the entire time in combat identfy them as the 3967th Quartermaster Truck Company.

So they will not be “Forgot”

There is a word
Which bears a sword
It hurls its barbed syllables,-
At once is mute again.
But where it fell
The saved will tell
On patriotic day,
Some epauletted brother
Gave his breath away.

Wherever runs the breathless sun,
Wherever roams the day,
There is its noiseless onset,
There is its victory!
Behold the keenest marksman!
The most accomplished shot!
Time’s sublimest target
Is a soul “forgot”!
----- Emily Dickinson
