The Battle of Hürtgen Forest (German: Schlacht im Hürtgenwald) was a series of fierce battles fought from 19 September to 16 December 1944, between American and German forces on the Western Front during World War II, in the Hürtgen Forest, a 140 km2 (54 sq mi) area about 5 km (3.1 mi) east of the Belgian–German border.[1] It was the longest battle on German ground during World War II and is the longest single battle the U.S. Army has ever fought.[7]

A special designation in the United States Army is a "nickname granted to a military organization" which has been authorized by the Center of Military History and recognized through a certificate signed by the Chief of Military History. Once approved, these designations may only be used by the officially recognized unit, or its recognized successor unit.

The Guardian Angels are volunteer, unarmed, vigilante crime fighters. They were founded on February 13, 1979, in New York City, by Curtis Sliwa. They have grown to over 130 different chapters globally.

In the 1980s, over 250 felonies were committed every week in the system. The New York subway was the most dangerous mass transit system in the world. The Guardian Angels were created to combat the widespread violence and crime. The Angels were trained in self-defense in order to make citizens arrests for violent crimes. In addition to self-defense, Guardian Angels are trained in first aid, CPR, law, conflict resolution, and communication. Safety patrol members are prohibited from carrying weapons and are actually searched before they begin their patrol. They patrolled the subways and streets but also provided educational programs and workshops for schools and businesses.

The Guardian Angels are known for their uniforms, red beret and red jacket or white T-shirt with the red Guardian Angel logo of an eye inside a pyramid on a winged shield. They are equal opportunity and promote diversity.

Initially, former New York City Mayor Ed Koch publicly opposed the vigilante group. As citizen involvement and outreach increased, he reversed his stance. Former mayors Giuliani and Bloomberg have publicly supported the group.

Today the Guardian Angels activity died down in the 1990’s and 2000’s but have recently resurfaced as a result of increased crime in New York City. A group of all female Guardian Angels has also surfaced patrolling to prevent sexual assaults.

Guys, you do great disservice to the current members of the unit by glossing over the defeat of the division in the Hurtgen Forest. First Army should have never committed the division to a frontal assault though such inhospitable terrain when an easier route south to the open valley an then northeast to Schmidt was possible. Dying bravely, but stupidly, is not a way to fight in the future. Read pages. 316-326 in The Guns at Last Light before editing my changes to the Seigfried Line paragraph 00:04, 2 December 2013 (UTC)
