My uncle was in Patton’s 3rd army, that went into Bastogne and relieved the 101st.
He retired in Southern California, where he lived until leukemia took him 20 years ago.
His logic for moving to Southern California was that, after that winter, he never wanted to be that cold again.
FYI
He was writing in cursive so the Germans couldn’t decode it... ;-)
