Through a newly acquired friend in Luxembourg, I learned of a fascinating story of his 79 year old mother’s contact with some Third Army troops during the time of the Battle of the Bulge.  Marguerite Groff was only 8 years old at the time.

As such, we are trying to locate four Third Army veterans who befriended the Groff family in Luxembourg in either December of 1944-January of 1945 in the small town of Strassen.  I am attaching Marguerite “Maggie” Groff’s story, “A letter from Luxembourg .”  I hope it will receive wide readership and that someone might recognize one or more of these soldiers and help us learn of the circumstances that found them in Strassen at this pivotal time in history.
