New feature: Bulge monument of the week

We’re starting a new feature here on the BOBA web page. Every week, we’re going to make note of a Battle of the Bulge monument, in the US or overseas.

For the most part, these monuments are simple tributes to the American GI who fought in this campaign.

This week’s monument is located in Patton Park on the outskirts of Ettelbruck, Luxembourg. Ettelbruck was near the southeast corner of the Bulge and was the site of intense fighting between German forces and the 80th Division. This monument was erected in 1994 to mark the 50th anniversary of these events. It was erected by the Cercle D’Etudes Sur La Bataille Des Ardennes (CEBA) (“Circle of Studies of the Battle of the Bulge.”)

If you have a favorite Bulge monument, submit a photo and brief description for this feature. Send your information to boba.editor@gmail.com.
