Default Taps for a Battle of the Bulge Vet









Lost Dad in 2010. He was a pro bowler, we were never close, he was always gone. But he was at the Bulge, and deserves being remembered

Yes, he deserves to be remembered as another hero who sacrificed all, including seeing his boy, for this great nation.

A gun is a tool, no better or no worse than any other tool: an axe, a shovel or anything. A gun is as good or as bad as the man using it. Remember that.

And shepherds we shall be, for Thee, my Lord, for Thee.
Power hath descended forth from Thy hand, that our feet may swiftly carry out Thy command.
So we shall flow a river forth to Thee, and teeming with souls shall it ever be.
In nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritus Sancti.

My uncle was in the Battle of the Bulge and a friend at church. Those men who lived through this are tougher than I'll ever hope to be.

My father was killed during the Bulge, it just took him years to die. Not a joke.
