Crater Chapter Bulge vets visit Fort Lee QM Museum

 On March 15, 2012 a tour of the US Army Quartermaster Museum was well received by the members since it has so many displays of these men’s memories, Patton’s jeep and Ike’s van etc. An article by T. Anthony Bell, Fort Lee Traveller, is well written and I felt it told the story of the Crater Chapter of the Battle of Bulge in such a good matter you would appreciate reading the same.

 Mr. Bell and I knew each other from some years back when he teased me about leaving this same Museum and after over 20 years as curator of education there. Times have changed I love history but today its games, electronics and theater, that’s not for me.

The members of this chapter or fine folk and are kind and caring of those who cannot do this simple task they used to. Each of those who attended the March meeting was sent a copy of the newspaper article. Some who could not attend also received the newspaper article.  I have not been a member of this chapter long and joined the national only recently thanks to a VBOBer giving me a page in his bugle.

I so enjoyed the memories shared by others that I sent my son’s name and he also joined. I copied the Uncle Sam cover and carried it to display it at March meeting. A retired General also attending the meeting asked me to get information from other parts of the Bugle and I did. He was seated next to one of the sisters whose father was at Malmedy

Thank you for what you do.
