The family of Bertrum Winzer has asked the Patriot Guard Riders to stand in
honor of his service to his country. PFC Winzer fought in the 1st Special Service
Force, the famed Devil’s Brigade that paved the way for today’s Special Forces.
When the force disbanded late in 1944, the private first class from Emmaus was
reassigned to the 101st Airborne Division. Sent to Belgium during the Battle of
the Bulge, he was among the troops who held off the Germans at Bastogne.<span></span></span></p>
