Heard from Reg and a few others today. It's official; WE WON! 
==================================
NEWSFLASH !!!!! BARRACKS WILL BE SAVED !!!!!!
Because of lots of internal and external political pressure and negotiations Belgian Minister of Defense Pieter De Crem made some significant changes in his plan to close down the HEINTZ BARRACKS in BASTOGNE .
The Artillery Unit 1A will no longer exist and 200 people have to go and work in other camps BUT 100 soldiers will remain at the caserne to maintain the ‘new’ Historical Depot of the Belgian Military Museum .
Reasons are : “Deployment “ and “Historical Reasons “ as he referred to the Von Runstedt Offensive and Bastogne being a historical city AND the BARRACKS , the 101ST Div HQ, as a Historical Marker !!!!!!! GREAT JOB EVERYBODY !
YOUR SUPPORT AND LETTERS REALLY HELPED A LOT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THANK YOU !!!
Best regards
