After Action Reports
Note: I have the original copies scanned from the National Archives of the below After Action Reports. If you need copies for your VA claims, I can supply them for a small charge in digital format. The retyped versions as are listed here, are not usually acceptable by the VA as proof to validate your claim. Don't get this far, and then drop the ball, and have it denied because the copies were not the originals "Be Prepared" !!
Also Notice. Action Dates, and Report Dates are not the same. The report date is always after the fact.

Below is a list of operations in cronological order. It is the complete "Order Of Battles". As I get them from the National Archives, the color will be red. As I get them copied, and posted, there will be a link. If they are this color, they still have to be obtained, and I am working on it.
