I visited the Ardennes last week and went to Bastogne on Tuesday.
Here are some photos of what we saw (click to enlarge).
Starting point was near Durbuy so we came through La Roche-en-Ardenne first.
La Roche-en-Ardenne, Le Chateau Feodal:
In honor of Michel Prioux, a young Frenchman that fell here for our freedom.
MK10 in the distance:
M4A1:

Recogne, German Military Cemetery:
Foy American Temporary Cemetery:

Thanks for sharing your pics. I just watched the episode of Band of Brothers were Easy Company from the 101st Airborne Division went in to Bastogne. A heartfelt thanks to all the vets!

I spent a lot of time in this area with scouts. It's really impressionant to discover memorials when you walk in some small paths in the forest. I rememberd to visit the crash site of a B-17 in Berisménil, near Bastogne.
NEVER FORGET...
Ps: The Sherman Tank of the center of Bastogne, is currently in restoration in a maintenance center of the Belgian Army.
