A very nice letter that was sent to Howard Huebner, WWII vet, from friend in Europe:
====================
Dear Mr Huebner
I was glad to read that you were remembered by so many all over the world on your 84th birthday and I hope you enjoyed every second of that very special day.
This weekend the people of Belgium and the Netherlands are remembering those who paid the ultimate price for our freedom so many years ago. I can imagine that at this time of the year your mind often wanders back to the many comrades you left behind on European battlefields. We here in Belgium and the people in the Netherlands will never forget your sacrifice.
Today there was a remembrance ceremony at the American Cemetery in Henri-Chapelle in Belgium , tomorrow there will be a ceremony at the American Cemetery in Margraten in the Netherlands .
The cemetery in Henri-Chapelle is the final resting place of 7,992 American brave young American souls who never returned to their families and loved ones.
I have included some of the photos I took this afternoon.

As you step through the openings at the front, you go onto the balcony of the cemetery...

One of your fallen comrades...
