First the passage, in this case from "All American All The Way" by Phil Nordyke, page 627:
As a tank destroyer from the 7th Armored Division moved west from Salmchateau on the highway toward Fraiture, the commander spotted a lone trooper from the 325th digging a foxhole for an outpost near the road. The commander stopped the vehicle and asked him if this was the frontline. The trooper, Private First Class Vernon L. Haught, with Company F, 325th, looked up and said, "Are you looking for a safe place?"
The tank destroyer commander answered, "Yeah."
Haught then said, "Well buddy, just pull your vehicle behind me. I'm the 82nd Airborne and this is as far as the bastards are going."
