On December 26, I will fly to Germany to start an 18-day vacation. (What can I say? I love winter and cold weather!
)
At some point during my first week there -- probably on January 2 -- I plan to visit the Luxembourg American Cemetery, and pay my respects to the 5,070 Americans buried there, most of whom were killed in action during the Battle of the Bulge, which was taking place 76 years ago this time. I'll also visit Bastogne, Belgium, where the 101st Airborne held off the Wehrmacht, and General McAuliffe refused to surrender.
If you have a relative buried at Luxembourg, please post his name, and I will be sure to stop at that grave and leave a coin or pebble on it for you.
