Co A 4TH Ranger BN - US Army WWII

[George Freemire was one of the 6 who escaped. All of the other 162 men in his Company A did not survive. ]

Fall of 1st, 3rd and 4th Battalions

On 30 January 1944, after Christmas break the Rangers were put together for a joint operation, to occupy the town of Cisterna, before the main infantry division moved in. That night the 1st and 3rd battalions moved into the town, passing many German soldiers that did not appear to notice the Rangers slip by. The 4th Ranger Battalion met opposition almost immediately taking an opposite route by the road. During the night the 1st and 3rd Ranger battalions separated out about 2 miles (3.2 km), and when daylight caught the 1st Ranger Battalion out in an open field, the Germans began their ambush. Completely surrounded and unable to escape, the two Ranger battalions fought on until ammunition and resources were exhausted. The 4th Ranger Battalion tried to make a push to save their comrades but were unsuccessful and had to withdraw. After five hours of fighting, German tanks and motorized infantry defeated the Rangers. Out of the 760 men in the two battalions, only six escaped and the rest were killed or ca

This marked the end of the three Ranger battalions. The remaining 400 Rangers were scattered around the 504th Parachute Infantry Regiment, and the 137 original Rangers were sent home. On 26 October 1944, the three original Ranger battalions were deactivated at Camp Butner, North Carolina.

William M. "Bill" Regenhardt Jr., 87, of Mt. Vernon, died 10:25 a.m. Thursday, Sept. 29, 2011, at St. Mary's Good Samaritan Hospital in Mt. Vernon.

He was born Saturday, July 12, 1924, in Cape Girardeau, Mo., the son of William McKinnely Regenhardt Sr. and Margaret (Scheppleman) Regenhardt. He married Linda Williford on May 8, 1979, in Mt. Vernon, and she survives.

He is survived by his wife, Linda Regenhardt of Mt. Vernon; two sons, Jim Regenhardt and wife Doris of Edwardsville and Tim Regenhardt and wife Kristi of Mt. Vernon; four daughters, Sandra King and husband Ed of St. Charles, Mo., Amy Amann of Northeast, Pa., Carol Ambrosuis and husband Ron of Cypress, Texas and Katy Briggs and husband Randall of Argenta; a step-daughter, Tami Reid and husband Rick of Corinth, Texas; a brother, Joe Regenhardt and wife Mary Alice of Cape Girardeau, Mo.;16 grandchildren, 8 great-grandchildren, and several nieces and nephews.

His parents; two brothers, Tom and Bob Regenhardt; a son-in-law, Timothy Amann; and one granddaughter, Rachel Amann, preceded him in death.

Bill attended Purdue University until the beginning of World War II, at which time he entered the United States Armed Services. He served in the U.S. Army as a Second Lieutenant under General George S. Patton, participating in both the Normandy Invasion and the Battle of the Bulge. During his Army service he was awarded the distinguished Purple Heart.

Upon his Honorary Discharge of the U.S. Army, Bill attended Southern Illinois University, completing a degree in mathematics. After graduating from Southern Illinois University Bill returned to Purdue where he graduated with a degree in Mechanical Engineering. After graduating from Purdue, he worked for his father, the late William McKinley Sr., in the construction industry. Upon his father’s death, Bill stepped in to represent the Regenhardt family interest (including his mother’s) in Regenhardt Construction Company, which was owned by both the Regenhardt and Harrison families. At that time the company continued to grow its interest in highway construction and quarrying operations. In 1958, Regenhardt Construction Company became associated with R.B. Potashnick Company. At that time, the company became known as D.L. Harrison, R.B. Potashnick Company. Bill continued working for this venture until 1966.

In 1967 the Regenhardt and Harrison families started Southern Illinois Asphalt, an asphalt contracting company based in Mt. Vernon. Bill became president of the new company, and during his tenure he completed various projects related to infrastructure and commercial development in Southern Illinois, including various sections of the Interstate system. Included in his career, Bill was involved in the purchase of a concrete pipe company located in Mt. Vernon. During this time, Bill was also instrumental in manufacturing the first precast box culverts in the State of Illinois. During this same period, Bill and his partners were involved in the development of rock quarry operations in Buncombe and Cape Girardeau, Mo. Bill continued in this capacity until the families of companies were sold in 1992, at which time he announced his retirement.

During his career, Bill was very involved with industry associations. This included serving as President of the board for the Illinois Asphalt Paving Association. In addition, he served as a board member of King City Federal Savings and Loan, a bank also located in Mt. Vernon. Bill was very involved with community service. His accomplishments include serving as a board member for the Mt. Vernon Township High School Board, member of the YMCA Century Club, Rend Lake Foundation board member, Illinois Societyof Professional Engineers, member of the American Legion Post 141, and Mt. Vernon Oakwood Cemetery Board. He was an avid golfer, a member of the Mt. Vernon Elks Association Post 819, and attended First United Methodist Church in Mt. Vernon.

Died:
Joe Howard Regenhardt, a prominent highway contractor, passed away in Cape Girardeau Wednesday, Aug. 9, 2023. Joe was born, the youngest of four sons, to Margaret and William McKinley Regenhardt Sr. on Oct. 30, 1936, in Mount Vernon, Illinois. He was a dedicated and skilled professional who made significant contributions to highway infrastructure developments in the Midwestern United States as well as Central America. The Regenhardt family has been part of the Cape Girardeau community since 1849.

Joe and Mary Alice Thompson were married on June 24, 1960, in Mount Vernon. Joe is survived by his wife of 63 years, Mary Alice Thompson Regenhardt; four sons, Mark Alan (Karen) of Woodstock, Illinois; John Robert (Sarah) of Hot Springs, Arkansas; Carl Joe of Denver, Colorado; and Brian Edward of Savannah, Georgia; three grandsons, Christopher (Kasey), David and Drake; and one great-granddaughter, Lilly Faith.

Joe was preceded in death by his parents and three brothers Bill, Bob and Tom.
Joe attended Christ Episcopal Church in Cape Girardeau and was active with the Meals on Wheels program.

He graduated from high school in Mount Vernon and went on to attend the University of Missouri at Rolla. He transferred to Southern Illinois University at Edwardsville, where he graduated in 1963.

Joe became interested in highway construction at an early age when he would travel with his father, who owned Regenhardt Construction Company, to various highways, levee, bridge, airfield, mining and quarrying operations throughout Illinois, Missouri and Kentucky. Upon the death of his father in 1952 and his college graduation, Joe became a partner in the family construction company with his two brothers and Don Harrison of Cape Girardeau.

Joe worked his way up in the construction field from being a common laborer, a payroll clerk and a job superintendent. Upon his graduation from college, Joe moved to the Cape Girardeau area, assuming various positions within the family business. He participated in the building of U.S. 61 through Cape Girardeau, Interstate 55 through Cape Girardeau County and Highway 25 through Dexter, Missouri.

In 1966, the R.B. Potashnick, D.L. Harrison Company was awarded a highway project in the Central American country of Guatemala. Joe moved his family to Guatemala City to manage that project. After completion, the company continued working in Central America. Over a 10-year period, the company completed several other projects in Guatemala and El Salvador, including two sections of the Pan American Highway. In 1976 Joe relocated his family to Mount Vernon. He continued to commute to Central American until 1982, when their last project was completed. He then returned to Southern Illinois to assume responsibilities with his two brothers in the family construction operations.

In 1985, Don Harrison asked Joe to come to Cape Girardeau to take over the management of Delta Asphalt companies in Southeast Missouri, Arkansas and Louisiana. Joe continued in that position until 1992.

In 1992, the family companies were sold to Colas, a French consortium from Paris, France. Three of the partners retired, and Joe was asked by the new company to remain and assume the role of president and CEO. Delta Companies, the new group, included operations in Illinois, Missouri, Arkansas, Mississippi and Louisiana. Joe continued in this position until his retirement in December 1999.

After Joe’s retirement, he spent a lot of his time traveling to see his grandsons play baseball, football and participate in wrestling. Joe and his wife traveled extensively during his retirement, visiting Guatemala to see old friends and former employees. Travel also included trips to Alaska and a river cruise on the Yangtze River in the Republic of China.

Joe was an avid collector of antique clocks and enjoyed working on them.

He was on the founding board of directors for AmeriFirst Bank in Cape Girardeau.
He was very active in the construction industry, serving on the board of directors of The Missouri Asphalt Pavement Association, and The Missouri Association of General Contractors, both in Jefferson City. He also served on the board of directors of The Illinois Asphalt Pavement Association in Springfield, Illinois. Joe was a founding board member of The Arkansas Asphalt Pavement Association in Little Rock and served on The National Asphalt Pavement Association board of directors in Landham, Maryland.

The Regenhardt family would like to thank Crown Hospice of Cape Girardeau for the caring service it provided to Joe.

Visitation will be from 4 to 8 p.m. Monday Aug. 14, at Ford and Sons Mount Auburn Funeral Home. There will be a visitation from 5 to 8 p.m. Tuesday Aug. 15, at Hughey Funeral Home in Mount Vernon.

Funeral service will be at 10 a.m. Wednesday, Aug. 16, at Trinity Episcopal Church in Mount Vernon, with The Rev. Jon Griffen and Deacon Parker Asplin officiating.

In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be given to Christ Episcopal Church in Cape Girardeau or Trinity Episcopal Church in Mount Vernon.
