Thanks for all the kind words.
I agree that many people forget about our fallen soldiers buried abroad. Especially in areas like Tunisia. I for one will go visit my uncles grave while I am here in Germany. I will be the only family to have visited him.
I also do lots of re-enacting over here and try my best to portray my uncle and the 34th ID. In May I went some Belgian friends to a few places to lay wreaths on some memorials for our troops in WWII. We spent the weekend camping at the Ardennes American Cemetery in Belgium. I got to spend a good bit of time talking to the operator of the cemetery Hans Hooker. What a great guy and loves his job. He told us how disappointed he is with some of the military personnel in the area. He expressed that as a military person stationed in the area you should go visit these sites to pay respects to the men who made it possible for us to be there today. Well he says he doesnt get enough Americans to visit his cemetery especially since we are so close. I promised that aleast our group from Spangdahlem AB, Germany will be there this Veterans Day to be part of his ceremony.
