The Bloody Bucket...
Weren’t the guys in the 28th the ones who broke and ran during the bulge while the real heroes in the Airborne divisions saved the day....
Just kidding. My dad was a BAR gunner in the 28th, 110th Rgt, 2nd Bn. Very few people know of the amazing stand they made. I just finished reading “Alamo in the Ardennes”, perhaps that book will make the story a little more well known.
Unfortunately, until the story of the Keystone Division gets the Hollywood/HBO treatment (and something better than “A Time for Trumpets”) the Bloody Bucket will Roll On in obscurity.
