Children of The Netherlands Adopt GI GravesIt is heartwarming and gratifying to know that our friends in The Netherlands continue to remember the sacrifices Allied soldiers, airmen, and sailors made fighting to free them from Nazi domination. Children of The Netherlands have the opportunity to adopt a GI grave in Allied cemeteries in their country.A very warm and sincere "Thank You" to all our friends in The Netherlands who participate in this program. We are sure it gives the relatives of those brave men who live so far away and cannot visit the graves comfort to know that you are giving their fallen sons', husbands', brothers', uncles', fathers', grandfathers', and great-grandfathers' graves your personal attention.Here are some pictures and other information about this wonderful program.More to follow as we receive additional contributions.
