Saturday afternoon.  The ceremony this a.m. in Flamierge was another special moment.  The Association troops were in formation, with John J the Vet inspecting.   A nice ceremony where the members of the 17th were remembered for their service in the liberty restored.  Later, a friendship toast at a school in Bertogne.  Each stop is filled with "photo ops".    Lunch in Bastogne was followed by a surprise in the "Peace Woods" - with a plaque to commemorate John J's return to Bastogne.  There is still much gratitude evidenced by the residents, as well as respect shown by many others.  It's heart-warming.  More later...
