202nd Engineer Bn. They were first with Patton's 3rd, then assigned to Hodge's 1st. During the Battle of the Bulge they were temporarily joined to the Ninth Army, and rejoined the 1st in (if I recall correctly) late February '45.

And for the lepers? Did they diminish Christ, or did Christ lift them up from the literal edges of society and re-member them with their families, their friends, their community?
