Charging Soldiers twice the price of a regular unit patch simply because you know the majority of your customers are in the 82nd Airborne Division is a bad business practice.
Hoping that @shopmyexchange fixes the issue.
Some officers in the 101st thought a 75mm pack howitzer could not knock out a German tank.
This gun, displayed outside the 101st Airborne Museum in Bastogne, is that weapon. On Christmas morning 1944 the 463rd Parachute Field Artillery Battalion answered the question. Dug in near Hemroulle northwest of Bastogne, the crews met a German armoured assault with direct fire at short range. The battalion claimed eight tanks destroyed, though only two could be confirmed at the time and other units shared the fight. Of the eighteen that began the assault, none survived the day. The 463rd received the Presidential Unit Citation for its work at Bastogne.
We visited the museum today with the National WWII Museum’s Easy Company tour.
