In the forrest near the belgian village of Grandmesnil in the ardennes, a monument was erected for US army cpl Richard Wiegand (from Maryland). On 25 december 1944 Wiegand stopped the advancing German panzer column by taking out the lead tank with a shot from his bazooka, blocking the small road. A few seconds later he and his team were killed by Geman mortar fire. For this valourous act he received the silver star posthumously.
Now 65 years later the people of belgium honor this brave American who gave his life for their freedom.
We don't forget.
