Below is a letter from Marilyn Putman Daughter of James Coulon

Just as I get one thing sent off, I find something else. Bob Derosier
went looking
through his accumulated "stuff" to help answer my endless questions.
He
found a map that had signatures on the back. To explain, I will quote from
one of Bob's letters:
" 'Course, I am the guy who stuck him with the monicker "Combat."
I called
him Combat Coulon and the monicker stuck. And he loved it. When we
were on
our way across the country for our trip to the Pacific after V-E Day, I had
some of the guys sign a map I had. Your father signed it 'Combat' Coulon.
If I can find that memento, I'll make a copy of it and sent it to you."
He did find it, and sent me a copy of the back of the map. I will try to
scan and send this to you at a later date, but for the moment I will type
out (and hope I interpret correctly) what is on there:
Robert L. Walden
"Santa Monica", Calif.
Joe Cronin
Chicago
James W. Coulon M.O.S 745 (Combat!)
"Gary" W.Va.
John Marshak The Jersey City Mad Russian
N.J.
Joseph Vonknsky New York Long Island
John P. Stearns, Kentucky, Louisville
Ervin Kuebler 3467 N. Mt. View Dr., San Diego, Calif
William J. Hovis Clintonville Box 3 Penna.
Stan Huff Ft. Wayne, Ind.
Stanley F. Szawara La Porte, Indiana
Eddie Hull Summerhill, Penna.
Jack L. Lloyd - San Francisco, California
Edward F. Cole - Vandergrift, Penna.
Hope this is of interest to you.
Marilyn
