Thank you for posting this, Gordon. I was stationed in Europe twice and took my wife, mother, and father to Bastogne on my first tour. I took my wife and kids on the second tour. I can attest to the thankfulness of the people in Bastogne. We were treated so well when they saw the US FORCES license plate on my car.
They thanked us for saving their city. Older folks hugged my father and mother with tears in their eyes.
It is an amazing testimony to a grateful country.

An old Airborne guy that used to come in the gun shop I was working at told me a story about getting wine from a Frenchman. They were headed towards Paris when they happened upon a man with a barrels of wine on his cart. They tried to pay him with their invasion money, affectionately called Whorehouse money when he refused, it was a sure death sentence if you were caught by the Germans with that money in your possession. So they had a BAR man they called Spades. The colonel told me they called him that because he was this little fella with huge feet and when he was laying behind his BAR it looked like the spades on an artillery piece. Anyway, Spades told them all to step back and he opened fire on the wine casks with the BAR and they drank wine out of their helmets.
