I just had a customer leave that is in the real estate business now. He is little bit annoying (get off my lawn) but mentioned his service in WW2. He was at the battle of Bastogne and one of only 4 survivors of the platoon. He fought in the battle of Dead Man's Ridge 4-9 Jan 1945. The 17th airborne division was deactivated on Sept 15th 1945 due to heavy losses.
I thanked him for his service so long ago. He said he never even talked about his war experience until some of his grandchildren satarted asking questions about the war. He put together a few pages about his experiences.
It sure puts into prespective "a tough day at work." I have never had to walk through freezing conditions through Flamizoulle, Gives and on to Bertogne and seeing a pile of my dead buddies.
