Of the last two living WWII vets in my congregation, one fought and was injured at the Battle of the Bulge.

My great uncle was shot through the chest there.  The only reasons he survived are a) the hugely oversized wool coat he was wearing froze to his chest and stopped the bleeding, and b) the company medic was in his foxhole when it happened.
