Since it's another anniversary of the Bulge, take some time to read and reflect.
BTW, I have this photo on my desktop. It reminds me each day in the winter of Michigan that I have a lot to be thankful for and when I am outside shoveling snow or hanging up lights and freezing my behind off, that I can ALWAYS go in the house and get warm or feed my face or hug my love ones.
My good buddy Rick was over yesterday and noticed my desktop. Man those guys sure look cold don't they? Yup I said, they're my heroes. They make me thank God for my blessings.
Frank Gubbels (a name many of you will know from WBG), placed a post under my ongoing topic of Don Burgett. Here is what Frank had to say:
I just want to let you know that I received a certificate of adoption today. This means that I adopted the grave of a private who was KIA and is buried in Margraten. It is the grave of Paul Carter. He was from A-com. 506 PIR 101 ABN. The same unit as Don Burgett. I already contacted Mr. Burgett and he was delighted that people are taking care of the graves of their fallen comrades. Here is a picture of Paul Carter which I found on the internet.
Pfc Paul R Carter
506th PIR Co A
KIA 17 Sept 44
Regards,
Frank
Note that this is also the same company that Art Morneweck's brother Robert was in.
Hats off to you Frank. Thanks for your dedication.
They make me thank God for my blessings.
