Absolutely Amazing!
God bless Augusta Chiwy.
God bless Renee Lemaire.
God bless the 101st.
God bless Brig. Gen. Anthony McAuliffe
Gutman said the diminutive Chiwy combed battlefields during the battle, often coming under enemy fire, to collect the wounded in the deep snow.
"What I did was very normal," Chiwy said during the ceremony. "I would have done it for anyone. We are all children of God."
Just think of the thousands of Americans alive today entirely due to this lady's bravery.

Another Belgian nurse - Chiwy's friend Renee Lemaire - was killed along with about 30 patients when a bomb penetrated a cellar Renee is presumably the model for the young nurse who befriends medic Eugene in Band of Brothers.
