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.

 

Its about :

 

Marshall D Breininger was born 31 DEC 1909 in Kutztown, Maxatawny Twp., Berks Co., PA,

 

US ARMY ID : 33370932

 

313th Infantry Regiment , 79th Infantry Division

And then there is :

 

sergeant Joseph V Del Torto

 

id 32940850

 

615th Bomber Squadron, 401st Bomber Group, Heavy

 

from poughkeepsie NY

 

who was born in 1925 en died on 16 feb 1945 in an airplane crash in Holland

 

 

I know a lot about his military life , but haven't been able to contact a relative

 

 

And then we have :

 

CPL Gustavo R. Ontiveroz

 

ID 38143301

 

U.S. Army, 55th Infantry Battalion, 11th Armored Division

Hello

 

We are Andy & Monique and we are from the Netherlands.

I am very interested in WW2 and everything that is related to that.

I read a lot of books , watch great documentaries, and collect as lot as movies from WW2 as possible.

 

We adopted 3 graves of brave soldiers on the American cemetery in Margraten , the Netherlands.

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 always put flowers on their grave.

 

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.

Now i am always looking at their graves and try to imagine who they were.

 

I am trying the find a face or story behind the grave of theis brave men, but i run out of help

So i hope i am at the right address.

 

Greets Andy

 

p.s. I have posted their names in the topic : LOOKING FOR.
