The 4th Cavalry Group no relation to the 4th Div also went up Utah Beach that morning. Then later that day the 90th Inf. Div "Tough Ombres" showed up & the next day I believe the 9th Div. arrived for some fun in the Cotentin Peninsula.

My grandfather was in 4th infantry battery a as a tec radio operator. He landed on utah beach. He received a bronze star(should have been silver star and 5 battle stars. He helped save his division by keeping artillery coming at selfrich germany. When he was found, there were Germans within 50 ft of his hiding spot. He survived 5 battles and botulism, came home, married and had 3 sons. The bravery this generation showed at such a young age should always be remembered.

My father was drafted in 1954 , and sent to Frankfurt Germany right out of boot camp. Served 2 TDYs in Germany ; the 2nd tour he was transfers to Southern Germany , and was under the USAs 9th ID. Interesting enuff both IDs were later to fight in SouthVietnam from 66 to 70 , pretty sure . In fact , my father met my Gean MOM over in Frankfurt , and had me 3/30/57. Dad finished his time @ a Army reserve base near Columbus, Ohio in 59 . The USA Army offered him a commission to go to SouthVietnam as an adviser , for he worked in communications , and his field was needed there . Thank goodness he turned it down , because both the 9th , and 4th IDs saw tremendous # of skirmishes there. The 4th in the Central Highlands , in which I lost my uncle there mid 3/68 , tail end of TET , 10 days b-4 my 11th bday . The 9th ID was down in 3 Corp ; Mekong Delta area , and a big hot spot to working in the USN Riverine force . I knew 3/ dudes that were down in the Mekong from 66-69.

My father was with the 4th during WWII. He made it until the Arden. He was wounded and sent back to Paris for medical treatment. He was MIA for three days. He had been severely wounded and drug into a depression to keep him out of the line of fire. During the heat of battle he was lost. They found him three days later. He was later assigned to a HQ unit in Le Mans. I have many photos of him and his buddies. Sadly he passed away when I was 18.

My granpa was in the US of As 82nd A/B Div. as a medic with capt.s rank . He had the option of carrying a weapon , which he did a .30 caliber carbine . He jumped in Normandy (DDay) , was in Operation Market Garden ; a near calamity planned by Field Marshall Bernard Montgomery on mid 9/44. The Brit paratroopers were shot up bad , and the American 101 and 82nd A/B Divisions were only slightly more successful on meager gains suffering high casualties , and later had to defend those meager gains from constant Nazi- German counter attacks . The Brits were mauled @Arnhem . Granpa was wounded on his way toward the Ardennes ( Battle of The Bulge mid 12/44). He laid wounded with a passenger behind , but was picked up by an American patrol , for Waffen SS Colonel Joachim Pieper , who was guilty of murdering nearly a 100 sum American GIs in Malmedy . He 's reluctancy to talk about was understandable , for it brought back a bad time period in WW2 Europe .

My great uncle, Staff Sgt. Lewis Elmer Humber was in the 4th infantry(12th infantry regiment). My family was given his bronze star that he earned pulling friendly casualties to safety in the midst of heavy German machine gun and mortar fire during the battle of the bulge. I am proud to have one of americas finest in my bloodline. Would love to own an M1 garand in his honor.

The whole area around Bastogne is beautiful and the people were very nice. From the town center, you can walk and see many memorials which symbolize their gratitude to the United States military. If you ever get the chance, jump on it and you will never regret seeing a place so serene and quiet in nature that really was the turning point for the world's future.

My great uncle Vinny was there 1944. He came home and had a comfortable life playing the ponies. He never shoveled anything again, never lifted anything heavy and he never got up before the sun just to slog through the day earning someone else a million bucks. He earned his life of ease.
