But no other outfits were hardly mentioned.
This is what is a shame. It's great that a unit gets their due recognition and the 101st definitely should get theirs for what they did and went through at Bastogne, but what happens is so many others failed to get mentioned and become lost in the haze...
But that is why sites like this and others are so important. They show and give credit to the ground pounders, engineers, and other who played vital roles in WWII, not only at the Battle of the Bulge, but in all the campaigns from '41-45.
All of us need to educate the public and make them aware of the larger scale.
And that is one reason I gravitated to this site and enjoy it so much. It is so obvious that it was started (and is) run by a person who has deep love and respect for ALL the vets, and I can relate to that. I like to hear about regular "Willie and Joe" type guys that we all know in our own hometowns. Each and every one is a bonified Hero to me. That means the "ground pounders, engineers, mechanics and truck drivers" that all had a part in the great victories of WWII, as well as suffering the losses.
Here's to You Guys!
