Hello friends. You've found our on-line chronicle of John J. Schumacher's return to the battlefields of WWII where, as a younger man, he served in the US Army 17th Airborne Division during the Battle of the Bulge in the Belgian Ardennes, and other locations we will visit during this trip.
Please join us here to experience a bit of this journey - beginning
Thursday March 22nd when we arrive in Belgium. We'll try to post
regularly to provide a sense of daily happenings, events, the people involved and try to share a bit of the experience with you.
The trip is made possible through the generosity, dedication and hard work of many, including the sponsorship of the 101st Airborne Division Belgian Friendly Association. Additional information on the "Dead Man's Ridge Walk" can be found at the Association's blog:
http://17thairbornewalk.blogspot.com
which has information on the event, as well as some historical background and even some information on John J...my Dad.
Stay tuned for what we know will be a special, once-in-a-lifetime trip...
Jeff
