Today, I salute World War II Veteran Nate Ericson. Ericson fought in the Battle of the Bulge, one of the deadliest campaigns of World War II on the Western Front. It was Germany’s last major offensive, and Ericson said that if Allied Forces had lost the battle, they would have also lost the war. In the decades since the war ended, Ericson has mostly declined to share his story, but he thinks people need a reminder of what he learned. Thank you for keeping history alive, Nate, and THANK YOU for your service.
