Our first stop this morning was at the beautiful memorial to the American armed forces who fought at Bastogne. The monument is shaped as a 5 point star; at the top of the memorial each star points to a specific battle site and is diagrammed on a copper plate in the middle of the point. 48 state names ring the top of the memorial with the vertical facades containing the names and patches of the units involved. Around the inside of the ring is 8 panels that tell the story of the Battle Of The Bulge. Very moving monument.
