BASTOGNE, Belgium – A color guard from U.S. Army Garrison Benelux performs its duty at the McAuliffe Monument in Bastogne Dec. 12. During a year defined by a global pandemic, a commemoration of the 76th anniversary of the Battle of the Bulge, one of the deadliest battles and most decisive Allied victories of World War II, focused on the heroic actions of nurses. A party of dignitaries unveiled a plaque in honor of two Belgian nurses in particular, Renée Lemaire and Augusta Chiwy, who delivered aid and comfort to U.S. military service members during that harsh, more-than-monthlong winter battle.
