US Army, 4th Division, 22nd Regiment
[excerpt from “Veteran Voices”]
“I assumed command of a rifle company in the middle of battle only two days after arriving at the front lines. I was ordered to attack the town of Grosshau, Germany –– the first attack east of the Siegfried Line. Only arriving two days before, I hadn’t been fully prepared for such an experience, but we did our job. I spent 7 weeks in constant front line combat –– seemed like a lifetime, including the Battle of Hurtgen Forest and the Battle of the Bulge.”
