Malmedy Memorial Event Planned December 17

Bulge, Bulge Monuments, Commemoration, Public Outreach, , ,

Together with the Rotary Club of Mt. Joy, PA, BOBA is planning a commemorative event on December 17 at the Malmedy Massacre monument in that Lancaster Co. town.

Lancaster County has a special relationship with that field at Baugnez Crossroads because fully a dozen of the 120 American soldiers paraded into that field – and 5 of the 87 men massacred by Peiper’s SS goons — were from this county. As important, seven Lancaster Co. survivors made it home to keep the memory alive.

We owe it to those brave men – and all American veterans – to carry on this memory.

More details will be posted as plans are developed.

The Spring 2025 issue of World War II History magazine featured our own Ben Berry in an excellent article by Kevin Hymel. It tells us a lot about Ben’s life and about his record in WWII.

World War II History is the only remaining mass market WWII magazine and is worth a look. Ben’s profile is the 3rd article published in Carl Gnam’s family of magazines about a BOBA stalwart member. Earlier articles featured Darrell Bush and Harry Miller.

He has also published two articles by our Outreach director, Leon Reed.
