Very, very nice...and thank you for posting. So glad he did make the trip. I bet he has some great stories to tell; both BEING THERE THEN and WHEN he went back.

Thanks for the post.

You can’t mention Vince Speranza without think of the song he’s well known for singing....

Blood on the Risers. Gory,, Gory, what a helluva way to die.

Having spent a couple of days in Bastogne, he’s right, they do have monuments dedicated to the 101st Airborne all over the place.
