Great read..your grandfather mentions the 84th infantry a few times.. Ironically they were the focus of my WWII Christmas day letter thread.
He also mentions he was "short range" artillery. I wonder what gun he operated?

I never got an answer about that before he died.
I have his medals on my wall, though, and he apparently got decorated during his service. In addition to normal stuff like his tech sergeant stripes, I believe he had a Bronze Star.

Grandpa was in 84th division in 333rd infantry regiment as a captain. He refused to talk about anything, when the battle of the bulge was brought up - said it was cold.
