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.

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.
