I voted for the Battle of the bulge. Why? Because I have the honor of knowing one who was there, Sgt. Don Malarkey.
A quote from his book, "Easy Company Soldier".
"The seige of Bastogne was finally broken. A tank battalion from Patton's 3rd Army had penetrated the German lines and rolled into town. That was wonderful. The circle was broken. We could get supplies in and wounded out. But later, we heard that the 3rd had rescued us. That cockeyed idea is phonier than a three-dollar bill. Easy company didn't need rescuing."
