Why is the Battle of Bastogne so glorified?

It wasn't just the 101st in the Battle of the Bulge. The 82nd airborne division was fighting right along side of the 101st. As were many other infantry units. It is called the battle of the bulge because all units retreated when the German Panzer divisions advanced except for the 101st and the 82nd. This created a bulge in the front line. And yes, those two divisions held off the tanks, which couldn't penetrate the Adrennes forest. Have some respect, many heros died there.
