Hang Tough, Bastogne 1944 by John D. Shaw
Print #3 in the Ghost Wings "Band of Brothers" fine art series.

"Hang Tough, Bastogne 1944" by John D. Shaw
December 24, 1944, north of Bastogne, Belgium.
Within the Bois Jacques forest, paratroopers of Easy Company, 506th P.I.R., 101st Airborne, filter back to their foxholes having repelled an attack earlier in the day. On this frigid Christmas Eve, Captain Dick Winters supports his men with his words: "Hang Tough." Despite being surrounded and ill-equipped, the Band of Brothers would hold the line. Ultimately, the 101st Airborne would help turn the tide in the Battle of the Bulge.

The World War II Federation

The Battle of the Bulge Living History week is presented by the World War II Federation to Honor the Veterans that fought during World War II, some of which paid the ultimate price with their lives. This event is not in any way related to, or is not sponsored by Fort Indiantown Gap, or the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, so please direct any and all questions to the World War II Federation at the above contact information points.

The event is broken in to two parts, the first part for the General Public and the second part for World War II Veterans and Living Historians.

Our Living History Commemoration portrays Soldiers of World War II. Our purpose is to Honor the Veterans of World War II, Battle of the Bulge and present it in an Educational manner as accurately and objectively as possible. We must stress "objectively" - we concentrate on the military aspects of the soldier we DO NOT support or in any way condone the politics which directed them.

Our Living History Commemoration and its people do not represent or advocate National Socialism or any of its outgrowths. The display of the National Emblem or other insignia is done as a part of the accurate portrayal of the soldiers of the period. This Living History Commemoration and its people try to portray the common soldiers in a unit. The Axis Historians provide an important foil to the Allied Historians at public display battles and living history events. The victory of the American, British and Soviet forces did not come easily. An accurate portrayal may permit the uninformed to gauge more accurately the difficulty and the sacrifice made by all soldiers in achieving what General Eisenhower titled: "The Crusade in Europe."

Period politics are neither condoned nor tolerated. Nor is the display of the Nazi Political Party Flags, Banners, or Arm Bands.
