- I believe that my dad William L. Shea served in a TD outfit during the Battle of the Bulge, but I have no idea which one. He passed away in 1971 when I still "knew it all" and wasn't interested in "ancient history". His records were among those destroyed in the NARC fire. Hoping I can piece together his history for my kids and grandkids. He was a heckuva guy...like all of the guys from WW2. Thanks for this website. God bless the USA.
