This past weekend Rob went on a day trip with USO to see Bastogne and the Battle of the Bulge in Belgium. They headed out around 7am and came back before 8pm. Even though it was gloomy and raining, he had a wonderful time. Here are some pictures of his trip.
The tour started with a visit to the AmericanCemetery in Luxembourg, where 5,076 US soldiers are interred, including two Medal of Honor recipients, five soldiers from the “Band of Brothers,” and General George S. Patton, whose 3d Army ultimately relieved the besieged “Battered Bastards of Bastogne.” He was also able to visit the German cemetery which was close by. Next, he traveled to the Luxembourg town of Diekirch to visit the National Museum of Military History, home to an outstanding collection of World War II artifacts. After lunch in Clervaux, Luxembourg the tour took him to Bastogne and the Mardasson Memorial.
