Trailrider #896 Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 Wonder what happened on that day? The Bosch came out of the woodwork, that is what! Got the "Bulge" on us...at least temporarily. At least until Georgie got his troops do a left wheel and charge up at least 100 clicks to relieve Bastogne. Worst part, according to those who were there was having no winter clothing, and it was the worst winter in Europe in decades! Not many vets of that battle left these days.

Can usually tell the Easy 8 by the muzzle brake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly, not many left at all. Time, like always, is the winner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arkansas Jim 107095 Posted December 18, 2019 Share Posted December 18, 2019 Pic #11 appears to be miss lableled. Those are not German soldiers. They’re ours holding a Nazi flag Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grumpy Old Man Posted December 27, 2019 Share Posted December 27, 2019 Had to dig out my Uncle's DD214. I knew he was at the Bulge and he earned a Purple Heart. I did not know in about 11 months, he earned 4 Bronze stars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rye Miles #13621 Posted December 27, 2019 Share Posted December 27, 2019 Had to dig out my Uncle's DD214. I knew he was at the Bulge and he earned a Purple Heart. I did not know in about 11 months, he earned 4 Bronze stars. My uncle never talked about his Bronze Star, we found out about it when my aunt, his wife, died and at the cemetery we saw the Bronze Star insignia on the headstone next to my uncle's name. (He was still alive) We asked him after about it and he was shy and reluctant to talk about it. He said he did what any decent human being would have done. He dragged a wounded soldier to safety.
