It was sixty-three years ago tonight, in Italy, that my late father and his cohorts in the Tenth Mountain Division fought at Riva Ridge. It was a seminal battle that became an epic story and started the landslide that undid the Nazi German forces in Northern Italy.
Truly a unique chapter in military history, and one that I heard first hand from my dad.

My grandfather was bogged down in the Ardennes at the time...but I visited the site where your father would have trained for his ascent. Feel free to stop by :)

Thanks for the visit, ST. I am a former rock climber, myself.
