Thanks for the post. I happened to know a gentleman that survived both D-Day and the Battle of the Bulge. Thanks Mr. Anderson and may your Blessed Soul rest in peace, Sir..!

Called my Uncle today to thank him for his service and sacrifice.

He went in June 6 afternoon, after Omaha had been secured. He didn't make it to the Battle of the Bulge, tho, his unit ran into a Panzer division outside of Paris (as they were waiting for the AEF to find a frenchy to lead the troops in). Only survivor of the bunch, lost an arm and came home.
