50^th ANNIVERSARY of the

BATTLE of the BULGE

50 years ago, in September 44, after four years of occupation the

Belgian people rejoiced as they welcomed their liberators.

But a few months later, in December 44, the celebrations were

abruptly interrupted by a large - scale german offensive.

In 1994 we commemorated the 50^th Anniversary of the passed

events and the G.I. of the lithography was the symbol of the Battle

of the Bulge commemorations:

the snow, is a reminder of the tough weather conditions during the

'44 winter, and the green firs represent the woods of the Ardennes.

In the background, the American flag is proudly floating,

triumphant, after the terrible fight, the rip and tears symbolize the

roughness of the battle.

In the lower part of the poster, the Nazi flag is trampled down by a

determined G.I. walking in the tracks left by a tank.

This lone soldier may be a relative, perhaps a son or a friend who

is courageously showing us, step by step, the way to freedom and

victory.
