I was talking with a vet of Bastogne the other day. I asked him about where he served, he said "Belgium...F*ing Belgium! Boy was it cold! I still don't like the cold." He had some interesting things to say about his officers as well.

If you are talking about the A with a circle around it, I believe that was the patch for the 1st Army not airborne.

My name sake was kill in the battle. I remember when my father died in 72 and at the funeral grounds I was looking around and looked down and saw what I thought was my name it turned out to be the uncle whom I was named after very freaky moment.
