See the end of this short but very touching interview of Carl Kiefer in 1989. A cook, driver, and rifleman with Service Co, 33rd Armored Regiment, U.S. 3rd Armored Division, Carl always preferred not to talk of his wartime experiences. But here he recalls several incidents at Christmas time, 1944, in Belgium during the Battle of the Bulge. The video was by Bill Ruth, also a veteran of Service Co, and his wife Eulalia of Columbus, Ohio.

Thank you Mr. Kiefer. I hope you are in good health. Please know that as you may look around society in our country (US) and think that the younger generations have forgotten your sacrifices.....We havent. Some may have, but I hope you know that alot of us have great respect for you, and your comrades who have shaped the free world for us as it is today. As a ww2 collector and researcher, I truly thank you and hope that you are doing well. You deserve it sir. Take care and Happy New Years

Our grandfathers were the best generation of Americans. They were hardworking, honest, and sincere. Their sacrifices made America the greatest country in the world.
Today America is dominated by a whole generation of Ann Coulters. They're all heartless, ruthless, and self-centered. It's because of these young hardnosed skankies that our country is falling apart.

Thank you very much sir. You should know that you are percieved as a hero to many. And all ww2 history buffs such as myself, love to listen to anything a ww2 vet would like to share. Anytime i talk to someone who has served in ww2 or korea i gain so much knowledge and feeling as to what it must have been like to actually be involved with something so "large scaled'. Thanks again for recording your expieriences and know that you are helping others understand what your life was about. we love u
