My dad fought in the Battle of the Buldge and got a Purple Heart. I think he was 19 yrs. old. He is a real American patriot and he provided us with good values.

I enjoyed “On Common Ground: A World War II Reunion” and Ken Burns “The War”. The latter includes a well done episode on the battle in the Huertgen Forest and the battle of Schmidt.

Did that guy, DeepInTheHurtgenForest, hijack your post too?

He sure was a naughty guy. Anybody else here remember him?
