WW2 veteran from Louisville,KY back to Bastogne
My name is Dominique, I’ve been interested in WW2 since I was a kid. I’ve met George last
June in Normandy. He’s a true hero.
Thanks to him and all the other veterans we
know what freedom is.
Please help me help a veteran.
Merz was born Feb. 23, 1925 in Louisville and
joined the Army in 1943, three months after his 18th birthday. Merz was assigned to the 818th
Military Police Company.
The young private was awarded a Bronze Star
for his actions during the Battle of the Bulge in Bastogne, Belgium.
He wishes to return to Bastogne for the 75th
anniversary in December.Please help George
make his wish come true.
Thank you
