For many years, I was in touch with the CO of the 3rd Armored field Artillery Batalion; Lt. Col. (Maj. Gen. retired) George Ruhlen.
He was also the Historian of the 9th AD Association.
A very very good man from Texas.
I even had the honor of meeting him in the Ardennes area.
"Thanks" to my former girlfriend, I lost all contact with my American friends (don't ask) .... only to learn that many had passed away sine.
I don't know if Maj. Gen. Ruhlen is still alive today as my letter never got answered.
But he knew A LOT on the 9th AD.
