It was this type of freewheeling that prompted division commander Major General Robert W. Grow to exclaim to one member of his staff, "These maps are too small. Give me a map large Taylor Publishing Company Photo enough so that I won't run off it today!" Leaving Brest to the Infantry, the "Super 6th" pressured the enemy to Lorient, then turned eastward, rumbling through Orleans, Autun, Nancy, and Metz. Across France, at Lyon, it achieved a link-up with the 7th Army moving north from the Mediterrean and drove its way to the Saar River within sight of Nazi Germany. During the winter counter offensive of 1944-1945, the 6th Armored Division was shifted south of the Ardennes to relieve the 10th Armored Divi- sion. Five days later it was back in the thick of action north of Bastogne. For 23 days the "Super 6th" fought in the winter hell of the infamous "Belgium Bulge." Tank turrets froze stationary and hatches refused to open. Rifle bolts were so stiff that they had to be beaten with grenades before they would operate. For the first five days the division was pushed slowly back under the tremendous weight of the Germans' desperate offensive.

The 6th Division was then called upon to begin the eastward drive against the enemy. Despite withering artillery fire, rocket barrages, and bombers blasting away from above, the division held its own and continued to move eastward. When r the enemy threat had been crushed in late January 1945, the "Super 6th" had pushed the Germans across the Our River and back into their own country.

paint the saint in the presence of modern Infantry- men. Saint Maurice became the focal point of the brigade. There were scrolls placed in the bar- racks, Saint Maurice Medals were awarded, and a Saint Maurice Weekly Newsletter was published. The adoption of Saint Maurice was short-lived, however, as there were violent objections from the civilian populace that it was a violation of the "st Amendment which provides for separation .hurch and state. The furor mounted and in January 1959 Time Magazine featured an article entitled "Saints in .eArmy?" Forced to part with Saint Maurice .s the symbol of the regiment because of public pressure, COL Siebert decided that Murphy, his Saint Bernard, would be an appropriate substitute. However, he never gave up the idea of the patron saint and later confided to a Catholic priest "Our Saint Bernard, confidentially, is running frantically looking for Saint Maurice." The controversy died and Murphy became the mascot of the 2d Training Regiment, Basic. There have been four Murphys since 1960. The brigade's assigned mission, training new recruits in the basic elements of soldiering, underwent many changes after 1960. Under a new Table of Distribution initiated in 1963, the brigade came under the direct control of the 5th United States Army. Perhaps one of the most important changes in the program was the advent of the Drill Sergeant Program and the abolition of committees for training. Eventually a combination of the two was adopted, the training program now in use. No history of the 2d Brigade would be complete important mission after 1965, however, was to without relating the history of the drill sergeant, provide drill sergeants for the basic training for it is he who is the foundation of the entire brigades. training effort and the one person most directly Under the commands of Colonel Wolfred White concerned with the daily life of the trainee.

Veterans benefits are general- ly exempt from taxation and need not be reported as income on in- come tax returns, the Veterans Administration (VA) has an- nounced. The VA said the only report- able item is interest earned on GI insurance dividends left on deposit or credit with the VA since this is considered earned income and not a veterans' bene- fit. GI insurance dividends them- selves are not taxable, VA said, nor are proceeds from GI insur- ance policies. Other major tax exempt bene- fits are compensation and pen- sion, GI Bill and other educational assistance, subsistence pay- ments to vocational rehabilitatior trainees, and grants for home; or autos to severly disabled vet- erans.
