Luxembourg Learning

Patton was killed a month after the war ended.  He was in a minor traffic accident and bumped his head~which unfortunately paralyed him.  He died from a blood clot to his lungs a few weeks after that.  He is celebrated in Luxembourg as a great liberator for their freedom.

Inside this beautiful monument is a shrine to pray for the lost soldiers and families.





Thank you FFT for allowing us to learn more about the Grimm Brothers plus pay our respects to our soldiers while in the process.  These gates are opened for us because you opened your belief for us!  Thank you!


3 bus loads of Chinese tourists visited and left these flowers.  The Chinese teach about General Patton's bravery, valor, and intelligence/strategy in their schools.

 We did get to tour the American cemetary dedicated to WWII veterans.  A lady by the name of Joy gave us a private tour of the cemetary and shared information about a few soldiers that are buried there.  We felt honored to learn of their stories and share their heroism with others.  Veterans Day will now have one more added dimension of emotion as we celebrate our Heroes!
