On our way from Paris to Baumholder, germany... Rich took us through Bastogne, Belgium. The city where the Battle of the bulge happened during WW II. What an unexpected surprise. We are going to Normandy next week and this was not on our radar. You can't help but get emotional as you see the memorial and read the description of what took place here engraved on the tall walls. Then we went to the forest where the battle took place, it was a little dark for us to find the foxholes. The local boy scouts keep the foxholes kept up. WOW. What a sacrifice that was made by my grampa and the thousands of other men and women we all know to give us the freedom we now live in!!!
