Ladies and Gentlemen,
As I grit my teeth behind my tightly pressed lips, I assemble yet another post, of a masterfully written article about War, written by Warren Kozak for the Wall Street Journal. While I am not bitter, please do not assume that I am not angry. I am, because our government is allowing our American soldiers to be treated as “war criminals” and my husband John is now inprisoned………………at Fort Leavenworth military prison (Kansas), as a POW in our own country.
(Please read this excerpt from the article I read in the Wall Street Journal and see if you can keep from gritting your teeth behind your lips…………………as you read it in it’s entirety.)
*A special thank you to Paul Dunaway and Marijane Green for pointing this article out to me for review.

[During the Battle of the Bulge, in the bleak December of 1944, the Germans had quickly overrun the American lines. They took thousands of prisoners as they pushed through in a last chance gamble to turn the war around. One unit, part of the First SS Panzer Division, had captured over a hundred GIs. They were moving fast, and they didn't care to be burdened by prisoners. So the SS troops put the American soldiers in that field and mowed them down with machine guns.
Around 90 Americans were killed in that barrage. The Germans then walked through the tangle of bodies, shooting those who were still alive in the back of the head. The few that survived were brought to where my father was located in the nearby town of Liege where word of the massacre quickly spread.] – Warren Kozak
