Memorial Day: Remembering Sergeant Scheuler

[Mackaydon]

Seventy one years ago, then Sergeant Schueler lost his 'dog tag' while fighting the Germans at the “Battle of the Bulge”. Five years ago, Georges and Eric from France posted on TN a pic of his service ('dog') tag that they had found, seeking more information regarding the name on the tag; Herbert Schueler. What happened next can be read on this thread:http://www.treasurenet.com/forums/honorable-mention/230822-help-us-find-soldier-schueler.html


With sorry, I found out today (how fitting a weekend: Memorial) that Sergeant Schueler passed away earlier this year; yet I'm pleased in the knowledge that with the assistance of Georges and Eric,we were able to return his 'dog tag'during his lifetime. Too quickly, we a losing those heroes from WWII.
This Memorial Day weekend I remember Sergeant Schueler and what he represents; what keeps us free today.

Thank you Don. I wasn't here when all of that happened, and probably never would have known about that story if you hadn't posted this. ...Isn't exactly easy to see the screen with tears welling up in both eyes. Great story(!!), great cooperation.

Have you kept in touch with your friends in France?

Cool! Have heard how there is a celebration (not the word I want, but my brain is asleep!) held there every year in honor of those military troops and their sacrifice. Would love to be able to go one year!!
