The residents of Belgium were very friendly and compassionate towards the American GI. Not
only being there Liberators,the American was
and still considered as a family member.On those
cold and dreary nights in the Ardennes,many a
GI was invited inside their homes and shared
the warmth of a pot belly stove. The town of
Rondu stands out in my memories,as to inviting
members of my unit inside to be warm.To this day I tell all my friends,how friendly and brave
the Belgium people were during those terrible
days. Thank You and God Bless The People Of
Belgium.
