Liege Hospital is Bombed

On the fateful morning of 24 November 1944, the 15th General Hospital in Liege was hit by a V-1 buzz bomb, that found its mark in front of the Pharmacy building.  Sixteen lives of nurses, doctors, and patients were lost and countless others were injured.  Two members of the 509th who were first responders to the scene received the Soldier’s Medal for their heroics that day.
