There you stood, America.

Low on food.
Low on ammunition and medical supplies.

Outnumbered.
Five Nazis for each American.

In the dead of winter, they thought you'd surrender.
They thought they'd break through.

They thought wrong. 🇺🇸#Bulge75 | #USA



How many soldiers did it take to stare down 500 Nazis?

How many soldiers did it take to delay for 20 hours an entire Division of Nazis?

18. It took 18 American soldiers.

We see you there at Lanzerath Ridge.

We see you, America. 🇺🇸

There you were, deep in the frigid Ardennes.

There, encircled and defiant at Bastogne.
There, holding firm at Elsenborn Ridge.
There, pouring it all out.

There you were, America.
Sons. Fathers. Brothers.

Bad weather prevented them from jumping into frozen Belgium.

So the 1st Canadian Parachute Battalion went in by land.

They held firm at Rochefort.
They helped push back the Nazis.
They stood strong by your side.

We saw you at the #BattleoftheBulge, America.
