This is part one of my father's wartime recollections of some of the fiercest fighting of the Second World War.

My Dad served with the 28th Division "Bloody Bucket" in Europe through December 1944.

He received his "Million Dollar Wound" in the Hurtgen and endured one year in recovery from his injuries.

This is my tribute to my Dad's service, patriotism and sacrifice and ALL who served with honor, and is an inspiration to us all.

God Bless America!
