On the road to Bastogne, Belgium. 10th Armored Division, 3rd Army M4 tank turret. The fine folk in Belgium remember the sacrifices endured by my Dad's brothers in arms there.

Yep. We depend on the turn of a friendly card. If your employer is an a-hole, guess what....You have to fight to get anything out of him and that just might get you nothing but unemployed. And, yet we are told that this is "freedom".....Really?......Is it?.......Freedom for a-holes, maybe.

Thanks, Dave. He was lucky to have been a private in the Hdqtrs battalion guarding Luxembourg City while those guys in 10th AD Combat Command B were getting mauled in Bastogne with the 101st Airborne. Later on they liberated one of the Dachau camps in Landsberg, Germany. Like so many others he flat refused to talk about it when asked other than to say, "You don't want to know."

I tried to research his time there after he passed away but the records were destroyed in a fire. We found his bronze star in his effects after he died but the details of how and why he was awarded it will remain forever an unsolved mystery.
