Hello,
On this date in 1944 The Battle Of The Bulge began.I am placing in this Mail Call a photo of the 517 heading for the Ardennes in trucks. The caption only mentions an airborne division and does not identify it as the 517.What else is new?

58 years ago one battle began. This battle would became one of the most important one of the whole American History and would be world known as THE BATTLE OF THE BULGE. At 5:30 am the Germans attacked Grand Duchy of Luxembourg and Belgium; it was the last Hitler gamble.
And you were overthere ! And thanks to you Hitler lost his last gamble ! And you are still alive ! And I have more friends !
So that this day could be in the same time a sad one but also a pleasant one because it is either the commemoration of a bad period to you or of the beginning of the end for the Nazism.
I guess you are proud of you today. May I tell you that you are right. I'm also proud.... proud to be your friend.
Thanks once more, my American Veteran Friend.

I would appreciate it if some members would let me know if they receive the photos okay. I also send them to myself on AOL without a problem. Some other providers may have a problem.
