We visited various battle sites around Bastogne, and the fox holes of the Band of Brothers (both E and F Companies) on a sunny, warm day in May two years ago, on an excellent tour provided by a Flemish guy (Reg Jaan, or Jan).
It will always be impossible for most of us to imagine freezing in very shallow (deeper now) fox holes for multiple days/nights with basic clothing, never mind with some stray 88mm shells etc sometimes hitting trees.
And they had very little food or ammo. Did some of this help motivate you guys out in WY?
