Reply To: Battle of the Bulge – December 16, 1944

This always makes me think of my Grandpa.  A great man to the end (nearly 23 years ago) and a Sherman driver under Patton’s command in the Battle of the Bulge.  He didn’t talk much about the war except when we asked some questions for school projects, but he idolized Patton (and was on guard duty at the base when Patton was killed).  I’m afraid most of my information on his military career is word of mouth as there was a huge fire that destroyed my grandpa’s records, and a ton of other folks’.  https://www.archives.gov/personnel-records-center/fire-1973

He’s deeply missed.  (Grandpa is the man on the left wearing his helmet.)
