Pat, thanks for giving us a sense of perspective. My dad also spent Christmas 1944 on the front lines in France. Not at Bastogne, but in a foxhole with a rifle in his hand. He came home never wanting to fight, or even so much as argue, ever again. The stuff that bothered other people rarely bothered him. He’d seen so much worse.

Another great article Pat. So many hero’s.
Well done, Pat. Merry Christmas!
