Bastogne Christmas Tribute

[Blacksmith]

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.
