Taking a moment to reflect on the Malmedy Massacre which occured on this date in 1944 at a Cross Roads in Belgium during what is now known as the Battle of the Bulge. 84 Soldiers of the 285th Field Artillery Observation Battalion were machine gunned to death at close range by their SS Captors. More than 40 other soldiers managed to survive this ordeal and escaped to tell the tale.
Harold Billow was one of those survivors, and he honored the memory of his fallen comrades every Memorial Day with a moving Flagged tribute in his hometown of MT Joy Pa.

80 years ago, on the cold winter morning of December 16th, 1944, the Germans launched their surprise counter offensive into a 75 mile stretch of the Ardennes Forest. Over 200,000 German troops and 1000 tanks barreled through several severely outnumbered American divisions. The ensuing battle would rage for six weeks costing the Americans 89,000 casualties, including 84 troops from Battery B of the 285th Field Artillery Observation Battalion who were captured by the Germans, then lined up and gunned down in a field near the town of Malmedy.
Those six weeks of fighting in the Ardennes – “The Battle of the Bulge” - was the largest and bloodiest single battle fought by U.S. troops in WWII. And it was the battle that ultimately broke the back of the German army. The Allied victory, according to General Eisenhower, was the result of the courage and perseverance of the American soldier:
“More than the constant threat of imminent death, our men had overcome all that the unbridled elements could inflict on them in the way of snow and ice and sleet, clammy fog and freezing rain; all the pain of arduous marches and sleepless watches. They had given up their wives and children, or set aside their hope of wives and children, overcome luxuries or poverty, fought down their own inclinations to rest their tired bodies, to play it safe, to search out a hiding place.
I believe we can always rely… on the willingness and readiness of Americans, including young ones, to endure greatly in their country’s cause.” ... See MoreSee Less
