    My FIL was there. He said is was the most miserable time he ever went through. And that was due to the cold. We recently found a map that he traced his travels on. He was all over France and into Germany. He was a S/SGT and commander of a Greyhound Scout vehicle.

    RIP Lewis.

    My grandfather fought there. He never rid himself of the demons that haunted him the rest of his life from what he experienced. He took no pride in his military years, he just wanted to get back home to his farm and family in Iowa.
