My friend Madonna’s father, Charles Meagher, participated in the liberation of France, Germany, and Austria from Nov. 1 through the end of the war in 1944-45. Charles died in 1957, when M was just 2 years old. She has some cherished items from the time of his military service including the official log of his infantry published by the Washington Infantry Journal Press in 1947.
He served in the 409th Infantry Regiment, 103rd Infantry Division - also called the Cactus Division.
Their motto: "Steadfast"
