Another collage of pictures. This time, from our visit to Bastogne where the 101st Airborne defended the besieged town during the Battle of the Bulge. The center picture was our guide in the city who was also a 'witness' from World War II so could tell us first hand about that time in history as he lived it. The inside views of the church are especially memorable for us as our guide whispered a request to the church organist who, in turn, played the United States National Anthem on the pipe organ for us. Complete quiet in the church when he finished playing and more than a few tears were shed. Bastogne has a great love and respect for the United States and we saw our flag flying in many places.
