Welcome

The FRIENDS OF PATTON'S 26TH INFANTRY DIVISION - LUXEMBOURG (FPYD-Luxembourg) are based in Luxembourg, Europe. The group was activated on 22 December 2004 during a NIGHT VIGIL ceremony at the YD memorial in "Schankegriecht" near Pratz, Luxembourg. In 2005, the group was changed into a non-profit organization (A.s.b.l.).

We are honoring the veterans of the 26th Infantry "Yankee" Division. We will set up a night vigil ceremony at one YD memorial in Luxembourg every year to remember all the YD veterans who served, were wounded or died during the Battle of the Bulge.

We will do our best to support the Stateside YANKEE DIVISION VETERANS ASSOCIATION, act to honor the veterans and keep the memory alive.

Our logo:

The logo, designed by Yves CLAUDE, shows the YD unit patch as used by the division during W.W.II. The national character of our association is set by the LUXEMBOURG label. The association's name encircles the YD patch and sets our mission to support and honor the 26th Infantry Division and all veterans who served with this division, bringing freedom and liberty to Luxembourg in 1944/45.
