Hi again eveybody,
The french association " Les Fleurs de la Mémoire" ("Flowers of Souvenir") has made itself a mission to hold the memory of those who felt in Normandy.
As the association's web site claims:
"By laying a flower in a grateful gesture towards the american troops, Les Fleurs de la Mémoire pay tribute to them as well as to those resting in the other allied cemeteries."
As a proud member of the association, i regularly drive to the Colleville cemetery to lay flowers to honor Earl G. Ford, staff sergeant in the 147th CE, Missing in Action on D-Day.

I found very little information about E.G.Ford.
He was born on May 23,1923, lives in Hatfield, Montgomery county, Pennsylvania when he went for enlistement on January 26, 1943 in Allentown.
He was Staff Sergeant in company B, 147th CE and disappeared on d-day during the assault.
If anybody can help me know more about him, i will greatly appreciate.
