[excerpt]
Of the 33 men of the 298th Engineer (Combat) Battalion who were killed in action during the European Campaign, 11 still rest in United States military cemeteries in Europe. Four of these soldiers, Pvt. Wayne M. Conrad, Pfc. Richard F. Geigner, Pfc. Steve J. Kish, and Pfc. Gerald M. Rehfeldt, are interred at Normandy American Military Cemetery on the cliffs above OMAHA Beach, not far from where the men of the 298th first came ashore.
