My dad was a WWII Army veteran who spent most of his tour (Feb. 9 1941 -- Oct 9, 1945) fighting in Europe.
He kept quite a number of mementos, one of which was a Christmas dinner menu from 1944 and a short Christmas note given to all soldiers from their commanding general, George Patton.
I thought that many would find it interesting to see, particularly our WB members who are veterans.
(Above the menu my dad made the following note: "Ate Christmas dinner in Metz, France, moved into Belgium that afternoon and the beginning of the Battle of the Bulge (the Ardennes offensive.")
(Above the note, my dad wrote the following: "Christmas greetings from General Patton and prayers for good weather as we moved into battle. Weather was terrible as snow and ice were everywhere."
