From Commander Molloy!

Thank you for visiting the 82nd Combat Engineers web site, celebrating our WWII heritage and our campaign for freedom.

The 2010 82nd Combat Engineers reunion will be held in Rochester, NY  at the RIT Inn & Conference Center, June 10-13, 2009. We'll be featuring  a banquet on June 11, and a trip on a vintage locomotive at the Medina Railroad Museum on June 12.

We hope you and your families can join us for  another great time in Rochester. I hear that the Comedy/Musical Duo, "Double Feature" will be making a return engagment  as our banquet entertainment.

LOOKING FOR OUR BUDDIES!  

Today the Battalion Association serves to maintain the camaraderie that was forged so many years ago. To date, 562 of the 700 men who served with the 82nd have been identified. It is our hope that this website will provide the link to locate others who served with the battalion.
