Video:

This lengthy video was posted nearly two years ago, but has gone viral in honor of Veterans Day. World War II veteran Vince Speranza retells the intriguing story when he served in Bastogne, France fighting the Nazis. While helping tend to the wounded, he was asked by a hurt soldier for a drink.

Incredibly, he found a broken down tavern nearby that had beer on the tap still. With no glasses or bottles around, he used his helmet to carry the beer to his friends. He never imagined that his beer serving technique would become a European legend later in life.

My father was in the 82 airborne and he was in that same battle. He would have loved this story and that beer.
Miss him.

4. Listening to him tell his story,

The sadness in his heart, telling about killing the German soldiers.... I am sad thinking about it.
