and in that same thread, I was looking at a 506PIR 101st A/B website today and saw a picture of a paratrooper in bastogne, that looked amazingly like the son of a good friend of mine. Imagine my surprise when I read the caption and discovered that indeed, it was his grandfather, my good friends Dad. This is true, I just discovered this not 15 minutes ago.
My own father jumped at Normandy with the 82nd, and in Holland where he was wounded out of the airborne, and fought at Bastogne with the 30th Inf? I have to look that part back up. But he was there. 73's and Merry Christmas y'all Ronnie ---------- Original Message ----------- From: "Merz Donald S" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "'Amradio (E-mail)" <[email protected]>, "'Glowbugs (E-mail)" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wed, 22 Dec 2004 13:25:12 -0500 Subject: [AMRadio] Off Topic: Nuts! > Helluva day... 60 years ago today, General McAuliffe was telling the > Germans what they could do with their suggestion that he surrender > Bastogne...and on this day 80 years prior to that, General Sherman > was giving the city of Savannah to President Lincoln as a Christmas > present. > > 73, Don Merz, N3RHT > > The information contained in this e-mail may be confidential and is > intended solely for the use of the named addressee.
