Am trying to find out more and will post it here when I do, but received the following email from Al Kincer:
One of Ed Jackson's brothers, the youngest, was killed near Luxemburg. He is buried in the American Cemetery and Memorial in Luxemburg. Do you think any of our Belgian Friends are taking care of his grave. If so I am sure Ed would like to know of it. AL

Had a great day at the Historic Walk in Bastogne today . After the walking and ceremony I drove up to the Hamm cemetery to take pics and take care of Helmer Jacksons place. It was rainy and cold .
First I took some pics and then I prayed and said "Thank you"... I put some flowers as well .
Alkincer I hope you like the pics ... I mailed them to Marion but here's a preview...
All the best !

I know Al will be thrilled when he sees these. Al, promise to have more for you and will email them TOO directly to you, plus will put all on the site.
Reg, as always, you are a dear and have made a few people very happy by your dedicated actions.
