I first learned about Lyle Bouck when I read the book "The Longest Winter". I became an instant fan of the man. A true American hero.

This is a photo of Terry Burns, and Kevin Thiesen with Lyle Bouck, taken on Nov 8, 2016 (Election Day) when Kevin and I attended the monthly lunch meeting of the VBOB in Affton, and then went to visit Mr Bouck. We were so honored to be able to meet him and thank him for his heroic service to this country. He was a true
American Hero. I recommend reading the book "The Longest Winter" by Alex Kershaw to fully understand what Lt. Bouck gave to this country. Remarkable.

My father was in the 99th although the two of them didn't meet until after the war at reunions. They both attended the 25th anniversary trip back to Belgium and he had kind things to say about my father. He and I also met after I went on a BOB tour and we had a great visit. I showed him my album, including the field where his platoon performed heroically, and the tavern where he was taken after capture. I'm so glad we got to meet.

I recently read the book "The Longest Winter" by Alex Kershaw after my renewed interest in learning about our Greatest Generation and all that they sacrificed for our country. Lt Lyle Bouck was the truest American hero. I highly recommend the book to everyone so that they may learn what our brave soldiers experienced and endured during WWII. A good friend of mine, Kevin Thiesen (a passionate military historian himself), recently attended the monthly meeting of the Veterans of the Battle of the Bulge in November, and afterwards went by Dr Bouck's home with the hope of being able to meet our hero face to face. We were honored and privileged to be able to shake the hand of our biggest hero. God bless you Lt Lyle Bouck and may you Rest In Peace.

I always admired Dr.Bouck, he was a "man's man". I have known him for about 40 years and he never mentioned his history in arm services, but a book written by Alex Kershaw "The Longest Winter" tells all.
Thank you for allowing me to be your friend.

I always have admire Dr. Bouck . He was a "man's man". The book, The Lonest Winter, by Alex Kershaw, tells us of the real story, of that man. Ihave known him for 48 years, and never spoke of Army days.
Thank you for having me as friend.

The AMERICAN LEGION of Metro St. Louis offers its sincere sympathy to the BOUCK Family on the passing of noted World War II serviceman, public citizen, chiropractic physician and patriot Dr. LYLE J. BOUCK, Jr.
Dr. BOUCK's selfless service as a military leader, combat participant in the din of battle during WWII, chiropractic physician (in South County), and patriotic American is an inspiration to past, present and future Legionnaires as well as younger Americans seeking a role model for a noted distinguished citizen and veteran listed above.
Dr. BOUCK's valiant actions under combat, leadership, patriotic American sentiment and humility will be remembered by many of his friends, former patients and fellow veterans from metro St. Louis for many years to come.
May God Grant Dr. BOUCK Eternal Rest, and may our nation continue to salute his selfless military service in battle during World War II and leadership as a respected metro St. Louis citizen. May he rest in peace--and may all of you in his family be consoled!

one of the toughest generation. when faced with an insurmountable problem, they just went to it and got the job done. they didn't rush or did not hurry things.
they were hungry, tired mentally and physically at the Battle of the Bulge. they were greatly outnumbered. but they still fought hard and kept their wits.

My sincere condolences to the Bouck family. I had the privilege of spending some time with Dr. Bouck and discussing the Battle of the Bulge in which he and my late father fought. Dr. Bouck was very friendly and shared his post-war memories of my father. He was a very gracious gentleman and I was lucky have met him.
