I was a kid when I asked my Papa who he served with. His only reply was "The Bloody Bucket!"
It was years before I knew anything about the Hurtgen Forrest.

My other Grandfather used the term "straf" one day and I asked him what it meant. Gramps explanation included a Jap Zero.

My JROTC instructor in high school was a veteran of WWII, Korea, and Vietnam. When he passed the family gave me a photo of him taken in some unknown valley in Korea. I cherish that photo.

Tomorrow happens to be the birthday of dear friend whom we honor on Memorial Day.

These are just a few of the things that come to my mind on the 11th of November.
My deepest respect and gratitude to all who have answered the call past, present, and future.

PA National Guard. They fought with great valor during WW2 and trace their lineage back to the Revolutionary War (Benjamin Franklin’s Division)… they are a much heralded unit within the reserve component of our Army…

They got the bloody bucket nickname from the Germans because their unit patch loosely resembles a bucket and is bright red..

I do not remember him saying much about it but I know he was with them from Normandy until the end of the war. By the time I was old enough to really appreciate what he had been through he had passed.
