#1

Recieved this letter tonight. Told him I would post this here and try to find out some things myself, as well as to rely on all of you for your undying assistance!

 

=========================

 

Hello to you

 

We are andre and maggy van driel, from the netherlands .

 

We live in the near of the American militair cemetery in margraten the Netherlands .

 

8301 fallen Americans rest in peace there.

 

The thankfully local people adopt all the graves, sinds 1945.

 

Adopt means you take care of the grave you adopt and put nice flowers on the graves, a few time’s a year. Memorial day x-mas etc.

 

See this site http://www.adoptiegraven-margraten.nl/

 

Or this site www.fallennotforgotten.nl

 

 

 

Ok my wife and I adopt 3 graves but we just got our 3th

 

It’s the grave of LEMMON GEORGE F TEC.5

 

SERIAL NUMBER 33389229 UNIT: 44 ENGR COMBAT BN.

 

DEAD AS PRISONER OF WAR IN CAMP STALAG 4 B MUHLBERG

 

SACHSEN 51-13 ON MARCH 24 1945 AND HE CAME FROM MARYLAND .

 

 

 

WE WANT TO KNOW, DO YOU KNOW WERE WE CAN FIND INFORMATION ABOUT THIS HERO.
