Lines: 12 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.
