HomeHaven is bringing together veterans, scholars, and family members of fallen soldiers to commemorate the 75th anniversary of the Battle of the Bulge, so-called because the Germans created a “bulge” around the Ardennes forest when pushing through the American defensive line.

As part of the evening's program, Arnie Pritchard will tell the story of his father's experience in the Battle, as related in a series of letters to his family from the front. Susan Izard will read part of the memoir she wrote about her father, Newt Schenck, who was captured during the Battle. Dr. Troy Paddock, Head of the History department at Southern, will host a panel discussion on the topic.
