I was in Patton’s 3rd Army until we were moved to protect Alcase in Dec 1944. Your uncle is sure right about the cold.
Nice to meet you, sir.
My Uncle was a wonderful man and I still think about him everyday.
Yesterday, it was when I heard the song, “I’ll be home for Christmas”.
He had six kids and he you to joke, “If I ever figure out what causes this, I’m going to stop.”
Like most of your generation, and my other 2 uncle’s that served,he really didn’t talk much about the war.
They would say something along the lines of “just doing what needed to be done”.
Thank you and your brothers for saving The Western World.
