Lt. Col. Vladimir B. Kedrovsky
Battalion Commander
You have marched to a glorious victory in World War II. Your battle scarred
armor has been dressed for the last time, and as all warriors before you your thoughts are
of home and the land of liberty and happiness. You have been a great fighting team; your
valor and courage on the battlefield have been exemplary, your esteem among fighting
men of the highest. General Patton said the 90th was his best infantry division – you
supported Patton’s best, and, as I have said in the states, in combat, and after combat,
“The 712th Tank Battalion is the best tank battalion in the U. S. Army.”
I cannot put into words the admiration and praise each of you earned and
deserved, but to those who love you and to me each one of you is a hero, and I say to you
– WELL DONE!
