His name was Joseph Esposito Sr.. Does anyone know how many "white" soldiers were in this division or was it an Afican American division? (and maybe my mom is wrong in which division my dad was in). Thanks

Also, does anyone know where I can get a copy of the Division book that was printed after the war? I have one but it is old and battered.

Please do not confuse this with the small Bronze Battle Star worn on the European, African, Middle Eastern Theatre ribbon. Also, in case you are not aware, anyone who earned the Combat Infantryman's Badge or Combat Medic's Badge in WWII are entitled to the Bronze Star Medal (BSM). I just received my Father's award after requesting it. There are lots of web sites referencing this but you can look at this one to get started. http://www.ww2awards.com/award/245
