Emblem - 141st Regiment-2nd Battalion - Company E - 36th Division - 1941 Company E, which was comprised of soldiers from Texas, mostly from the Segundo Barrio and Bowie High School, served in Italy. On a mission to Monte Cassino between Jan. 20-23, 1944, its members were ordered to cross the Rapido River in southern Italy. They walked into a fight with German forces that's now considered the greatest military blunder of World War II. Those who weren't killed were wounded or captured. The men were also instrumental in the liberation of Rome on June 4, 1944. http://www.freep.com/story/news/local/2015/06/04/men-company-e-honored-bravery-wwii/30879615/
