TOMMY SYMONS AND MYSELF WITH TWO VETS FROM THE 87TH DIVISION
Yesterday, January 31, my butty Tommy Symons and I took a trip down to Fort Indiantown Gap to see the living history program set up in remembrance of the Battle of the Bulge. Following are some of the highlights of the day. Actually the highlight of the day was being able to sit down with a few of the veterans from the battle and talk to them.
Veteran Ed Lambert served at the Bulge with the 6th Armored Division 68th Tank Bn. "C" Co. Ed was a sherman tank commander. What an interesting story he told.
