The dedication of a monument to SSgt Roy L. Booher
SSgt Booher was the first American soldier to be killed in Holland, and it's our intention to erect a monument in his honor on 6 September, 2009, during the 65th Commemoration of the liberation of Norbeek, which took place on 12 September, 1944.

Thank you Marion. I will send it through to the others. The only thing I should change now is that he is not the first American trooper to be killed in Holland, but the first American trooper to be killed in Holland during thee liberation. Before him there were airmen killed in the battle.
Thank you,
Frank
