[Carriage Hill]

Dad was “D-Day +45”, and in with Patton’s 3rd, in Army Corps of Engineers, 101st, 26th Infantry, “Yankee Division”, combat engineer on the tip of the spear, thru Battle of The Bulge, and was shot by Nazi sniper while rescuing fellow wounded Engineers under fire. He was evac’d to UK and US; Silver & Bronze Stars, Purple Heart. He still hates the cold to this day. He’s 88 and could probably kick my butt, at 62. Heh.

Same with my Vater, who's also 88. He was wounded outside of Leningrad, killing T34s. Winter months are still tough for old frostbitten areas of his feet.

Survived the war & the Eastern front!
