(VBOB)<br /> <br /> Here are kind words sent to this gallery comment section by Mr. Gilbert Stevenot:<br /> <br /> John McAuliffe is a dear friend, who remain the ambassador-at-large, to honor the acts of bravery of the 87th Infantry Division, during the bitter campaign in the Battle of the Bulge.<br /> <br /> I was the main coordinator of the officers' club Corlux to erect a momument in Pirompré and plaques in Tillet, Bonnerue, Moicy and St-Hubert, <br /> where the men of the division have fought bloody fights to put out of action the tenacious German Army, through the hilly and dense forests of the Ardennes, on their way to liberate the besieged Nuts City. <br /> <br /> All those monuments in the Ardennes, in Quincy or elswhere in the States, represent a great link to the past and to those who serve today in the world to bring peace to oppressed people.<br /> <br /> As a former interpreter at the 12th Army Group, <br /> I am proud of what I have done during the war and since the end of it, <br /> and the pleasure to meet again the friends of the past. <br /> <br /> I will never forget what they have done to liberate my country.<br /> <br /> God bless America.<br /> Steve
