3 missions - terrible to see that he went there once again... More than 5000 dead soldiers untill today! The war is going on for way too long and since the troops won't be pulled out of Iraq, I guess there will be more to come... This is sad to see a young life being wasted for some people's interest. The people of Iraq will probably never accept the Americans to be in there country!

I want to thank you for your kind words and for taking time to care for the graves of our HONORED DEAD. It is wonderful to know that there are still some who appreciate what America has done for them. Thank you.

I have adopted a 2e lt `s ( Michael D O`Grady ) grave here at the American Cemetery in Margraten Netherlands he was also from Spokane. I hope from the bottom off my heart that all people from Spokane remember there fallen heroes. The Heroes from way back then and those from day`s to come. My god bless them all...
