'Ted always kept the watch U.S. time so the boys knew what time it was back home.' Widow of PFC Theodore Hall, KIA 3/24/45. They rest in a distant land they fought to liberate nearly 70 years ago, their lives ended by war and their stories quieted by time. As a follow- up to her book The Granite Men of Henri-Chapelle, author Aimee Gagnon Fogg brings to life the stories of Vermont’s 25 WWII soldiers buried at Henri-Chapelle American Cemetery, Belgium, in The Green Mountain Boys of Henri-Chapelle. These are not war stories. They are a celebration of life for Vermont’s 25 servicemen, a recognition of lives lived, and an acknowledgment of those who answered the call of duty and did not return. The Green Mountain Boys of Henri-Chapelle illustrates each civilian life before the war and captures the person behind the military rank, allowing each man an opportunity to share his life once again, a life he sacrificed in the pursuit of liberty for his fellow man. In the words of Vermont native and America’s 30th President, John Calvin Coolidge Jr., 'No person was ever honored for what he received. Honor has been the reward for what he gave.' They gave their all, the Green Mountain Boys of Henri-Chapelle.
