On behalf of the Officers and men of Headquarters Company, I wish to commend the work of the Aid Men who served us while in combat.
    These men did their job with skill and courage, never failing under adverse conditions, but moved forward through small arms, artillery and mortar fire to keep up with the men they were responsible for and to see that they had the best of care.
    The outstanding job that these Aid Men have done has won the admiration and undying respect of all of us.

WILLIAM M. SHUFORD

To the Medical Aid Men of this company who accompanied us into battle, tended our wounded, ministered to out dying, and courageously performed their duties and often more, I extend congratulations on a job well done.

Wherever 'B' Company has fought, Medical Personnel have earned their share of the victory. The constant and determined efforts of the Aid Men to relieve pain and prevent suffering, have given Infantrymen the courage to face enemy fire with the knowledge that they would not be neglected. From Posterholt to Blankenburg, they served this Company in the face of great personal danger and they have taken their losses without lessening their efforts. The Officers and Enlisted Men of Company 'B' extend their appreciation to all Medical Corps Personnel who have served with them for their comradeship and loyalty to duty.

CHARLES R. GRIGGS
Captain, Infantry

1. There can never be enough said on behalf of the Medics, both this company's attached Medics and the Battalion Detechment.
    2. An artillery shell is a pretty impartial gadget. I've never seen one take any notice or not swerve around a Red Cross insignia, but I have seen that insignia on peeps and personnel in some of the damnedest spots. It didn't seem to make a bit of difference, small arms or artillery fire, they'd be there, seemingly unperturbed, doing their job - and what a job!     3. The following Medical Aid Men were attached to this organization for operations:
        Pfc. Henry Sellenthin
        T/5. Edward E. Viehmyer
        Pfc. Nicholas Vulpis
        Pfc. Millard Mills
        Pfc. Lloyd K. Seifert
        Pvt. Alexandre Novikoff
    none of us ever envied you!
    4. Please God, that I never hear that plaintive call 'Medic' again; but, if I do, I'll take great comfort in the thought that they'll be there - but fast!
    5. Company 'C' of the 49th joins me to a man in expressing gratitude and admiration for the best damm Medics in the whole blasted Army!
