My great uncle parachuted in on DDay and also was a survivor of the Battle of the Buldge. He had earned the rank of sergeant in an armory division and was actually one of the first soldiers sent home on the "points" system that they mention towards the end of Band of Brothers
I knew that he had participated in the BOTB growing up, but didn't know the rest until I attended his funeral back in 2006. Some of his comrades from the local VFW chapter filled us in on details about his service that he would have never mentioned himself.
