    Bastogne Christmas Tribute

    I originally posted this in the Pit back in 2012 but instead of just bumping the old thread I thought it was worth re-posting it in Our Town so more people could see it.

    At this time of year, I am writing this on December 7th, we should take time from our festive activities to remember those who sacrificed so much to insure we have the freedoms to enjoy those activities.

    Bastogne Christmas Tribute

    On the CMP Forums poster Paratrpr has, for the past several years, posted tributes to the heroes of Bastogne. Here are links to each years story:

    Thanks BLACKSMITH

    I miss his posts of the last 2 years.

    I always had a cigarette ready for that old warrior.

    Now go to "Our Chapel" and remember those that gave their all.

    One of the most endearing sights in the world is the vision of a naked good-looking woman leaving the bedroom to make breakfast. Bolivar Shagnasty (I believe that Lazarus Long also said it, but I can't find any record of it.)

    Maybe we'll hear from him this year.

    That look on your face, when you shift into 6th gear, but it's not there.
