Glen Kuhn was one of Grandaddy's older brothers. Glen Kuhn was born in the year 1918 and died in the year 1944. He died during World War II in the Battle of the Bulge. The Battle of the Bulge was the last major offensive by the Germans of the war. Its goal was to split the main line of the British and American forces. Most of the American casualties occurred within the first three days of battle, when two of the U.S 106th Infantry division's three regiments were forced to surrender. The Battle of the Bulge was the bloodiest
of the battles that U.S. forces experienced in World War II; the 19,000 American dead were unsurpassed by those of any other engagement. For the U.S. Army, the battle incorporated more troops and engaged more enemy troops than any conflict before that time. The German objectives ultimately were unacheived. Glen Kuhn was killed sometime during this battle. He is buried in the cemetery in France at Normandy. We found his name among the lists of men who had given their lives for their country in Carter County. A
new memorial has been built to honor men who paid the ultimate price for their country. Men such as Glen who died for their country are what makes me proud to be an American and proud to claim the name of Kuhn.
