Re: My trips to the Hurtgen Forest 2008
I have always wanted to go there, and hopefully I will be able to some day.
My Uncle was with the 28th infantry, (hence my name, Keystone Two-Eight) and by some freaky miracle, actually beat the odds the 28th had against them, and made it home. When i first heard of the battle via "When Trumpets Fade", I became really engrossed in what happened there, and I have to say, that to this day it remains one of my favorite subjects in military history.
