Dear all,
I became friends with an American WW2-veteran who served in the US 2nd Armored Divison that helped liberate the Netherlands in September 1944. As a favour to him I'd like to ask you for your help in purchasing/ordering (a replica of): the Netherlands Resistance Medal that was awarded to his Division on the 6th of October 1982. I really hope someone can help. Please let me know the costs or whether you know an address where to order/obtain this Medal. Thank you. fam. Smits

Hallo,
Wij zijn, Ik en mijn oom op zoek naar familieleden van Patrick F. Murray, we hebben al diverse contacten gelegd en ook al verschillende gegevens binnen.

Hello,
I'am looking for any information on private Carl Dotson, 22nd Engr BN, 5th Armored Division. He served with the 5th Armored till he was killed on 21 April 1945 a few weeks before the ending of the war in Europe. With all the information on the internet and data from the 5th Armored I think he's been killed in the area Dahre-Salzwedel, near Berlin (Germany). That’s unfortunately all I know about him. I've adopted his grave on the burial site Margraten in the The Netherlands and would like to know more about this persons history and his grave I’m taking care of. Further information: Name: Carl Dotson ASN: 37740154 Unit: 22nd Engr BN, 5th Armored Division Rank: private D.O.D.: April 21th 1945 Burial site: Margraten, The Netherlands Thank you all.

My wife's father, who she never met, is buried in The American Cemetery in the Netherlands. His name was Harry Heiberger. He was a medic for the 319th Regiment, 80th Division of 3rd Army. He was killed approximately April 16th,1944 in Germany near the Czech border, the last day his unit was in action. He was awarded the silver star, two bronze stars and two purple hearts. He fought across europe and was part of the group of third army units that stopped the German advance into Belgium in 12/1944. We are grateful to know he was buried in the Netherlands among such great people. Harry Heiberger left a wife and young daughter (my wife ). He was from St. Mary's Pennsylvania, a catholic and a true american patriot. If his grave has been adopted we would enjoy communicating with those who care for his grave. It means much to us that folks take so much of theri personal time tocare for his grave. One day we hope to visit and pay our respects to Harry and his comrades, but also to the great people of Margraten

Ongeveer een jaar geleden plaatste ik hier een berichtje over het door mij geadopteerde graf van pvt Jack E Thatcher, dat ik al een jaar lang elke maand bezocht en waar ik verder geen informatie over had.
Dankzij de geweldige hulp van mw. Fietje Quaedvlieg en dhr. Reinoud Smeets kreeg ik niet alleen informatie over de persoon Jack Thatcher maar ook een warm contact met zijn nabestaanden. Daarna werd de zoektocht gestart naar informatie over Jose Kline, wiens graf is geadopteerd door dierbare vrienden van mij. Weer boden Fietje en Reinoud voornoemd, belangeloos, hun hulp aan en de hulptroepen werden uitgebreid met onze Amerikaanse vriend Don R. Marsh. Het was een spannende zoektocht met diverse verrassende wendingen en nu een prachtig resultaat: er is na een broer ook nog een nichtje gevonden. Een fantastisch einde dat tevens een geweldig begin is van contact met de Kline-nabestaanden. Fietje, Reinoud en Don, hartelijk dank voor jullie moeite. Tevens een woord van dank voor al hun steun aan Ben Savelkoul (zie ook zijn prachtige website www.bensavelkoul.nl) en Jasper van Haren (die een fantastisch eerbetoon aan de gevallen militairen heeft gewijd via de Hyves-site http://honormygraves.hyves.nl/ waar eigenlijk iedereen die iets heeft met adoptiegraven lid van moet worden). En namens de Amerikaanse veteranen en nabestaanden die ik heb mogen leren kennen bedank ik alle adoptanten voor de liefde en respect waarmee ze de nagedachtenis van de gesneuvelde militairen eren.
