Yep. When the walking wounded fallout and draw ammo. It’s Alamo time. It’s a good thing Patton’s men were hard as hell and the weather lightened up. Malmedy, Bastogne, Ardennes, all names that deserve a listen. At the same time, we had troops fighting in the Pacific. It requires remembering. IMO.

Partner, I will always remember WWII even though I was not born in the 1940's.

I had 3 uncles fighting in Europe and one of my uncles who has passed way said that he came over to my grandfather's and grandmother's house one day, since he was already married.

I will never forget what he told me "He said that he silently stayed outside the screen door since my grandfather and grandmother were kneeling down and praying to our Heavenly Father asking him to protect their children that they may come back safe."

I thought about this picture and what my grandfather and grandmother were kneeling down was happening throughout the fruited plains. It rolled me over just thinking about this.
