Just drove through lindau today after visiting the Zeppelin- NT hangar and assembly center in Friedrichshafen. Earlier this week visited the largest American WWII cemetery in St.Avold France - over 14,000 buried from last months of the war including one dated May7th, a day before the end.... from a father of three twenty-something sons, RIP Lieutenant Gray.
Rest in Peace. And Thank You!!
Welcome HOME!
Buried with his Dad's Ashes wow that got me ........... Thanks for Serving RIP
Took me a minute to figure out the relationship - article as written was a little confusing at first. "Louvier" - the man whose ashes the pilot was buried with, was a close friend of his in the war. Louvier then went home after the war and married the pilot's younger sister. So not a father - son relationship but still significant and an honorable way to be laid to rest.
With so many pilots and members of all Services MIA for that matter who gave their lives for the good of our country and yet trying to find Amelia´s fate commands more attention and funds. Impossible to understand.
