[Jackknife]

I have an uncle who was in the 101st and was sent to Bastogne. My aunt said he refused to talk about it. The only story she ever got out of him was that as he came over a hill with a five man squad, a burst of machine gun fire killed the other four and missed him.

I have a family friend, who lives down the road from my parents, who was also in the 101st. Another FRiend (an author) wrote a short piece about his WW2 service and life. Here is the piece from his website.
