Every Memorial Day during the time I was stationed in Europe I took my family to the cemetary for the ceremony and to visit Gen. Patton and the men and women buried with him there (we would also visit Sandweiller).
We also made it a point to visit Hamm on POW/MIA Recognition Day and Veterans Day.
I tried to visit Bastogne as much a possible and have a web page about a volksmarch that I participated in back in 97 during the McAullife Days celebration.
If you are interested I can try to post the URL.
