We regret to inform you that our good friend Forrest Guth passed away this week-end, age 88. Forrest was a member of Easy Company, 506 PIR.
He was a very nice and kind man. I had the privilege to meet him in Bastogne (and his friend Buck Taylor)
We will miss him very much. Our sincere condolences to the family.

Early December I was looking for a suitable text or poem on the internet for my Christmas cards. Though I found several beautiful texts I was not satisfied, or they were too long, or they didn't express enough my feelings, so my wife said "Why don't you write something yourself...?". I answered "Me ? Writing a poem ?"... Well, on December 5th I tried it and this is the result. It may not be perfect, but the important thing is the message...

 

To all of you : Merry Christmas and a marvelous 2008 !

 

Rendezvous with Christmas

Filip Willems, 2007.

 

Christmas time, the calendar shows December

Christmas time, a time to remember

It was sixty-three years ago

A tough battle with the foe

 

Ice, snow, days and nights were cold

Their rendezvous with destiny, a story still untold

Fear and courage hand in hand

No matter what, they'll stand

 

To all those angels from the sky

Again I say thank you, I sure know why

They fought for their country, and for mine

Star of Bethlehem, especially for them, please shine!
