Returing from Bastonge and Wilts Belgium/Luxembourg area last night with the Boy Scouts from Brussels.... We camped out at Wilts where the first contact between the Germans and Americans during the Battle of Bulge occurred in December 1944. Walking the battlefield areas and trails and seeing the landscape from our frozen camp site, a new general of American youth will have seen for themselves under similar weather conditions what the soldiers saw during the fighting. This is my last trip after 4.5 years of hauling scouts from The Netherlands and Belgium around in Europe to Battlefields from WWII and WWI during campouts year long.

What a fascinating adventure you've been on! You're making a great contribution to our young ones through the Boy Scouts which is a group that has my complete support.
Now you deserve some hot chocolate and a warm bath after that.
