Below you can meet the men of Operation Antwerp X whose story has crossed my path in some other way. I have had the honor to meet several family members and call many of these my friend and through these pages I wish to permanently honor them. These men who sacrificed much of their young lifes to liberate my home country and the rest of Europe may never be forgotten. I tell their stories to the best of my knowledge and capabilities, please contact me with any corrections or additions.
