    My wife's uncle, Sergeant Francis A. Daly, is interred at Ardennes. He was a 19 year old ball turret gunner on a B-17 with the 398th Bomb Group. His plane was lost to anti-aircraft fire on his 22nd or 23rd mission over Germany.

    When you are dead, you don't know that you are dead. It's difficult only for the others.
    It's the same when you are stupid.

    Yea, anyone of those war grave cemeteries, when viewed in person, would tear your heart out even more.
