history06 > Gilbert Stevenot - Belgium - who served in the Headquarters of the XIIth Army Group of General Bradley. Mr. Stevenot sent the 87th this wonderful comment: ...I was the main coordinator of the officers' club Corlux to erect a momument in Pirompré and plaques in Tillet, Bonnerue, Moicy and St-Hubert, where the men of the division have fought bloody fights to put out of action the tenacious German Army, through the hilly and dense forests of the Ardennes, on their way to liberate the besieged Nuts City. All those monuments in the Ardennes, in Quincy or elswhere in the States, represent a great link to the past and to those who serve today in the world to bring peace to oppressed people. As a former interpreter at the 12th Army Group, I am proud of what I have done during the war and since the end of it, and the pleasure to meet again the friends of the past. I will never forget what they have done to liberate my country. God bless America.

history06 > Mitch Kaidy, D-345 at the plaque on the boulder at "Bloody Crossroads" Pirompré, Belgium. Plaque dedication June 1996. As Monuments Committee chairman, Mitchell Kaidy; D-345, suggested the plaques, wrote all the texts for them, (some translated into French by Gilbert Stevenot of Rochefort), wrote nearly all the speeches, including those in French, (they were translated from English) and presided at the ceremonies in four villages. Mr. Kaidy had the plaques made in Cincinnati and shipped as antiques (to avoid duty) to Gilbert Stevenot. http://www.87thinfantrydivision.com
history06 > John McAuliffe, M-347 in Army uniform at the plaque on the boulder at "Bloody Crossroads" Pirompré, Belgium. Plaque dedication June 1996. Here are kind words sent to the gallery comment section by Mr. Gilbert Stevenot: John McAuliffe is a dear friend, who remain the ambassador-at-large, to honor the acts of bravery of the 87th Infantry Division, during the bitter campaign in the Battle of the Bulge. I was the main coordinator of the officers' club Corlux to erect a momument in Pirompré and plaques in Tillet, Bonnerue, Moicy and St-Hubert, where the men of the division have fought bloody fights to put out of action the tenacious German Army, through the hilly and dense forests of the Ardennes, on their way to liberate the besieged Nuts City. All those monuments in the Ardennes, in Quincy or elswhere in the States, represent a great link to the past and to those who serve today in the world to bring peace to oppressed people.

history06 > Four 87th Division Memorials dedicated at Pirompré, Tillet, Moircy, and St. Hubert. June 1996 &#8211; during the 87th Division Association Tour, led by Earle Hart, A-345. As Monuments Committee chairman, Mitchell Kaidy; D-345, suggested the plaques, wrote all the texts for them, (some translated into French by Gilbert Stevenot of Rochefort), wrote nearly all the speeches, including those in French, (they were translated from English) and presided at the ceremonies in four villages. Mr. Kaidy had the plaques made in Cincinnati and shipped as antiques (to avoid duty) to Gilbert Stevenot. The 87th Training Division was represented at the ceremonies, as was the U.S. ambassador. U.S. fighter aircraft from Germany overflew the Bloody Crossroads ceremony, and over 1,000 Belgians attended-- a large number for a small nation! Photo credit to: John E.
