Uncle Gordon
Uncle Gordon Bray is on our minds a lot here in the Ardennes. He was here in the winter of 1944 -1945 trapped near Bastonge during the Battle of the Bulge. The people here still remember and respect what our troops did for them. Aline Jehin, in whose home we stayed at Saive, remembers soldiers handing out candy as they rolled through the town on tanks.
