Great story!

I wonder why is he wearing a jacket with the 82nd patch on it?

Wow, what a cool story. Thank you for posting this.

Man what an experience it would be to sit down with a ceramic helmet of Chimay and listen to Mr. Speranza and his time in Bastogne.

Stories like this are why I love history.:lifter

My kind of history. :D

Hope he rinsed out his foxhole toilet helmet before he filled it with beer. :p

Or put it back on his head, for that matter... :D

Thanks for posting this, Aleks. I enjoyed it. My kind of history, too.
