His 9th Armored Division stopped the German Panzers at the Battle of the Bulge. He stepped on a nail escaping a building that was blown up around him. Wouldn’t leave his unit and take a Purple Heart.</p><p>A few months later they came upon a railway bridge that was still standing across the Rhine River. Riding with the lead command group, he grabbed a machine gun and ran 1/4 mile across, dragged the dead Germans off the sandbags, reconfigured it and held the bridge for 2 hours. Remagen. The unit citation given by Dwight Eisenhower sat on our mantle until he passed in 2015 at 93[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
