This is a repeat of a message I posted in June with some additional information. Iwas with the 491st Field Artillery Battalion, 11th armored division, fought at the Battle of the Bulge, and helped liberate Mauthausen.

For those of my colleagues who fought at the Bulge, I thought you might be interested in learning that the sculptor Ray Kaskey, who designed all the bronze plaques at the WWII Memorial in Washington, D.C., has completed a small edition of the plaque depicting the Battle of the Bulge. I have purchased one and think it's quite splendid. It's a smaller version of one of the plaques at the WWII Memorial here.

If anyone is interested in contacting him about this, I suggest you go to his Web site (where you can also see more of his work): www.kaskeystudio.com. Anyone coming to Washington who would like to view the plaque can contact me at: cesack@aol.com
