Hello
I am Andy from the Netherlands .
I recently adopted 3 graves of soldiers from WW2
We caretakers of the graves at the Netherlands American Cemetery and Memorial ( Margraten ) are the ones who will see to it that the men and women buried there will not be forgotten
I go there often with my wife and children to see that their graves are well being taken care for.
I now have Internet and i am trying to find out as much as possible about them but its very hard to find anything.
I would like to know everything about them so i can ex plane it to my children who s in that grave and what kind of men they were.
I am trying the find a face or story behind the grave of these brave men, but i run out of help
So i hope i am at the right address.
