    Golden Lion Families Remember the Battle of the Bulge

    Vol. 74 – No. 2 April – July 2018 Flag of Friendship — Golden Lion Families Remember the Battle of the Bulge A report from the Belgian Chapter by Carl Wouters, Association Belgium Liaison Burgermeister Christian Krings of St. Vith lays a wreath at the Division monument. He was awarded the 2017 Flag of Friendship for his support in organizing the commemorations (Photo Doug Mitchell/Borderlands Tours) in his town. December 16, 1944 is a date forever embedded in the memories of the veterans of the 106th Infantry Division. As the German Fifth Panzer Armee struck the lines of the U.S. 1st Army, heavy fighting engulfed the Golden Lions of the 106th on the heights of the Schnee Eifel and in the valleys of the Our River. Two months of bitter fighting followed, ending with the recapture of lost ground at the end of January 1945. Even though more than seven decades have passed since the 106th made a valiant stand at St. Vith, people from all over Europe continue to honor the men who served there, join in commemoration and perpetuation of their legacy.

"Surviving" is the name of the game. We had no idea what we were to face when the showdown came. John Schaffner 106th Division Association Historian ************************************************************** The following appeared in the August 1993 issue of the magazine "Field Artillery". It was written by Sgt. First Class (retired) Richard Raymond III. He won 2nd Place in the US Field Artillery Association's 1993 History Writing Contest with this article. He's a 1954 graduate of the US Naval Academy at Annapolis and served in the Marine Corps, discharged as a 1st Lt. in 1960. Eight years later, Sgt. 1st Class Raymond served with the National Guard Field Artillery units in Connecticut, North Carolina & Virginia.

His last assignment was as Brigade Intelligence Sergeant, 2nd Brigade, 29th Infantry Division in Bowling Green, Va., before he retired from the Army in 1990.

Rivières préservées, lacs de barrage et pêcheries artisanales offrent aux pêcheurs de nombreuses possibilités d’exercer leur passe-temps favori. Qui plus est, au milieu de paysages magnifiques et d’une nature protégée. Deux Parcs Naturels, celui de la Haute-Sûre Forêt d’Anlier et celui des Deux Ourthes, recouvrent d’ailleurs une partie importante du territoire ardennais. Parmi leurs missions, la promotion d’un tourisme de qualité basé sur les ressources patrimoniales de leur territoire. Conscients de la richesse halieutique de leur territoire, les deux Parcs Naturels ont réalisé cette brochure en collaboration avec les différentes Maisons de Tourisme et Syndicats d’Initiative, ainsi que la Fédération Sportive des Pêcheurs Francophones de Belgique. De Gouvy à Habay, ce livret présente, cartes à l’appui, les parcours des différentes sociétés de pêche en rivière, mais aussi les plans d’eau, les hébergements « pêche » et les commerces spécialisés de ce vaste territoire, environ 200.000 hectares ! A l’aide de pictogrammes et d’explications claires, le pêcheur désirant visiter cette belle région trouvera toutes les informations nécessaires pour préparer un séjour des plus réussi ! N’hésitez pas à consulter aussi le site http://peche.tourisme.wallonie.be. A la mouche ou au lancer, le long de la Sûre ou de l’Ourthe, seul ou entre amis, venez découvrir les nombreuses possibilités de pêche au cœur de l’Ardenne !
