Geocache Description:


Here you will find Harold D. Webb. He was in Easy Company and
now lays to rest here with his Dad Ollie and Mother Winnie.
In January 1945 Harold was one of many brave solders from
easy company that lost their lives. You will find his name on the plaque
pictured below that was made possible by Tom Hanks.

Harold happens to be my Uncle. I have the honor of having his last
name as my middle name. "David Webb Kilgore".
Harold was my Mom's brother.

You can find the Easy Company 506th PIR monument below on
the side of the road, located on Foy-Bizory Road in Bastogne

Harold was from Amelia, Ohio. I live in Amelia with my Wife
Mrs Jedi and my son Master Christopher.
















"A Paratroopers Creed"
I volunteered as a paratrooper; fully realizing the hazards of my
chosen service, and by my actions will always uphold the
prestige, honor and high "Esprit de Corps” of the only volunteer
branch of the Army.

I realize that a parachutist is not merely a soldier who arrives by
parachute to fight but is an elite shock-trooper and that his
country expects him to march farther and faster than any other
soldier.

I shall never fail my comrades, shirking my duty or training, but
will always keep myself mentally and physically fit and will my
shoulder my full share of the task, no matter what ever it may be.

I shall show other soldiers by my military courtesy of superior
officers and non-commissioned officers, by neatness or dress, by

my care of my own weapon and equipment that I am a well-trained
soldier.

I shall endeavor always by my soldierly appearance, military
bearing and behavior, to reflect the high standards of training and
morale of parachute troops.

I shall respect the abilities of my enemies. I will fight fairly and
with all my might. Surrender is not in my creed.

I shall display a higher degree of initiative than is required of other
troops and will fight on to my objectives and complete the
mission, though I be the lone survivor.
