Bastogne, Belgium






Bastogne was another of the highlights. It was an all day bus ride from Antwerp to Bastogne to visit the World War II city made famous by the 101st. Airborne Division. Their refusal to surrender and subsequent rescue by Patton's 3rd. Army spelled the beginning of the end for the Germans in the Ardennes and the Battle of The Bulge. There were two Battle of The Bulge veterans on the trip.
