When I visited Adbourne, England (headquarters of the 101st Airborne), I was amazed to see WWII reenactors. Their uniforms were 99% spot on, and they really knew their subject. They were some of the friendliest people I’ve ever met.

Later, in Bastogne, I encountered yet another group of reenactors. We met at the museum, and continued to the national guard post, where General McAuliffe penned his famous reply to the German general who demanded surrender of the U.S. troops during the Battle of the Bulge.

It’s my tagline.

We left behind thousands of vehicles and other items which are now being used by these dedicated gentlemen to teach generation after generation about the sacrifices made by their liberators.

I wish some of that would rub off on American educators.

Unlikely

Nuts! One of the greatest quotations in American, no, World history.
