This is a correction to the Bastogne story.

The guy who made the remark was a Colonel at the time.  I later
served under him when he became Commanding General of the
1st Division.  The remark has always been reported through
the media as having been "nuts".  The real remark, from a
guy who was standing less than ten feet away who I also served
with was "F__K YOU!".  The media changed the remark to fit
home consumption.  The German Officer to whom the remark was
made was confused as to the meaning and had to have it
explained.  I rather like the original myself.
