 | 22nd Alabama: 1900 Louisville Reunion
Nicholas T. Leverett indicated on his 1913 pension application (Texas Form A) that he was transferred from the 39th (sic) Georgia to the 22nd Alabama in 1863. However, unit muster refute that assertion. He was neither assigned to the 39th Alabama, nor was ever officially assigned to the 22nd Alabama. After he was wounded during the battle of Atlanta, he was hospitalized with members of the 22nd Alabama. His subsequent discharge from the hospital noted that he was with the 22nd Alabama. He used two documents to support his assertion he was with the 22nd:
1) A receipt made out to him and originating with Company F, 22nd Regiment Alabama Infantry. It reflected a a remark "for clothing" dated 08 Oct 8 1863, indicating a possible deduction from his gross pay. [That is an odd document since he was wounded less on 21 September 1863 while assigned to the 37th Georgia.]
2) A Ramsey hospital discharge dated 09 August 1864 granted him a 60-day furlough. The furlough indicated assignment to the 22nd Alabama. [Most of the soldiers on a corresponding hospital roster were assigned to the 22nd Alabama. All were afforded 60-day furloughs irrespective of wound or illness.]
No unit muster or end-of-war parole document has been located that would validate his claim to having been transferred to the 22nd Alabama. The 37th Georgia records indicate that he failed to be listed on rolls after his wounding in September 1863.

 | 2nd Infantry Division (2ID) Omaha Beach: 1944 JUN 07
This classic photo of 2ID soldiers climbing up the slope from Omaha Beach was enlarged and hung on a wall in the WWII Museum in New Orleans, LA. Veeta (Scott) Biggers visited the museum in January 2016 and as she glanced up at the photo, the second soldier in the column looking at the photographer drew her attention. While there may be no way to confirm his identification to an absolute certainty, she was convinced that it was her father, SSG John Edgar Scott, who was with the 702 Ordnance Company, 2ID on that very day!

 | 44th Infantry Division Shoulder Patch
1LT Pope served with the 220th Field Artillery Battalion (105mm), 44th Division.
The Army heraldry notes: The division insignia consists of two blue figure 4's back to back on a golden orange circular background within a blue border. The colors are those of the House of Nassau, whose Dutch settlers inhabited what is now New York and New Jersey, and are used because the division was organized from National Guard units of this region.

 | 90th Infantry Division should patch
"Originally, the red T-O stood for Texas-Oklahoma, since the division was made up almost entirely of men from those two states. Later however, men were drawn from every state in the nation, and the T-O came to represent, by common consent, “Tough ‘Ombres”."
