First I want to thank Marion for putting up this forum and for the many hours of work she spend on it .
Ever since I was a 5 year old nuisance my grandpa told me stories about his actions during ww2 ! As a kid I got fascinated by them and my curiosity grew over the years. Even more , it became a passion .
I'm 32 years young and live in Belgium , an 80 min drive from Bastogne !
Studied ancient history and Germanistic languages .
Became a part time pro musician instead .... 
506th PIR is my heart and soul and nowadays I only work on ww2 projects to keep the remembrance alive for our kids and their kids ....etc....
"They gave their lives for our freedom , they fought the unknown enemy , they are a piece of modern history . " Because of their action and courage I still speak Dutch in my own beautiful country ."
So I do all I can to keep them remembered and all for 1 reason !
To say THANK YOU !
