[ABN 505]

My Dad was in the 502nd PIR. of the 101st Abn. Div during the Battle of the Bulge and that was what he told me. He and his platoon were starving and frozen at the same time along with low ammo and constant artillery bombardments. He never thought they would get out alive. His Boots and dogtags are in the Paratrooper museum in Caraten France. If you are ever in France visit the museaum it is really a great place for anyone who likes history.

I hope to visit the battlefields in Normandy and the Bulge in the next few years. I’ll make sure to include Carentan. There is a memorable episode in Band of Brothers about its capture.
