Darth,

I believe you but you didn't make any reference to your grandfather in your original post. We're not mind readers and appreciate your granddads service to his country.

The reason i did not mention him in the OP was because the OP was about the message given to the Germans. Later someone mentioned how the 101st reacted to being relieved. Well my grandfather was part of that relief. The only reason I mentioned him was due to the natural progression of the conversation in the thread where someone else mentioned an aspect of the battle that had to do with my grandfather.
