‘Remember what it was all for’: US veterans in Europe to mark WWII Battle of the Bulge

On Saturday, some of the last living American veterans of World War II met with world leaders and many other admirers as they recounted the Battle of the Bulge and how the Allies braved subfreezing temperatures to blunt the final Nazi offensive, which began 80 years ago this month.

“I remember the bitter cold, the weight of my machine gun, and the faces of my brothers in arms — ordinary men who displayed extraordinary courage. Together we fought for freedom, step by painful step. To those who come after us, may you always remember that the freedom you cherish came at a terrible cost," said WWII veteran John D. "Jack" Foy during the commemoration.

Today and every day, we remain grateful and will always remember the sacrifices of WWII veterans
