This local memorial for my Dad is located in the Pilsen area of what is now the Czech Republic, near the town of Tesov, where he was killed.

God Bless America and as well the millions of men and women who have fought and died for our freedom!
This flag was used on D-Day at Utah Beach as American forces fought their way ashore. It is part of the Smithsonian collection. It stands as a testament to the lives that have been sacrificed for our freedom...
That shy smile....You are an exact copy of your dad.
ReplyDeleteMy gratitude today for your father's and all the armed forces' efforts to keep democracy alive for all of us, and for giving his life in that effort. Thanks so much for sharing these photos and memorials in his honor.
