I was driving across Luxembourg in 1988 and came upon the American Cemetery so I stopped to visit. It was a very touching experience, almost like visiting The Wall in DC...

Many of the US soldiers who died in the 1944 Battle of the Bulge were buried there. I was surprised to see that General Patton was there too.

High & Tight in JP, 1964...
