My dad is 90, and arrived in Europe just after the Battle, and took part in the mopping- up efforts in Germany and Belgium. Had he been drafted a few months earlier, who knows? His abiding memory was the heavy snow and bitter cold of the winter of ‘44-’45.

God Bless your dad, bigbob.

My dad has passed on but was in the Army and was actually stateside during the Bulge. He was born in 1909 and was drafted after Pearl.
