Today will be dedicated to all things Bastogne, but not necessarily “Easy Company”. After breakfast, we’ll start out the day at Saint Pierre's Church, recounting a the moving tale of a 501st paratrooper's story loss and his faith-driven recovery.

After spending some time touring some memorable locations within the city proper, we’ll pause to enjoy a first class meal at one of our favorite restaurants in Europe (the entrance is an old rail car).

Bellies full, we'll head to the "X" Crossroads where the 101st Airborne's Medical Company was captured in the early hours of the Battle of the Bulge, a debilitating loss of critical medical personnel that would impact the Division throughout the duration of the battle.

After a pause at the location where the German surrender demand was delivered to tell that story, our last stop of the touring day will be at village of Assenois, where Patton's 4th Armored Division finally broke through the German lines to link up with Screaming Eagles of the 326th Airborne Engineers, thus ending the siege of the beleaguered town and it's defenders.

Once we finish up this full day of touring, we’ll head back to our hotel in Marcourt for a few rounds of drinks on the panoramic outdoor deck and a delicious four-course farewell meal.
