65 years ago the 101st airborne division fight in Heteren Holland during operation Market Garden
On 5 oct. 1944 Cpl. William Heister Dukeman died at the battle on the Crossroad in Heteren.
This action became very famous in the Band of Brother series. I am the adopter of his grave at the military cemetery at Margraten in Holland. I am honored to go every year to Heteren to lay some flowers

Joe was in "C" Co., 501 PIR, 101st Airborne. When I return to the US later this month, I'll ask my mom if she knows exactly where Joe was killed. I recently discovered a book (Hell's Highway: Chronicle of the 101st Airborne in Holland. As I recall from the book, Joe and other US soldiers arrived during the darkness at an orchard...after daylight our guys find that they have been surrounded by the Germans...a US officer announced "every man for himself..." Joe was killed in the orchard.

My mom's first husband (Joe Alberico) married her 2 weeks before D-Day. Joe then shipped out to Europe. She never saw him again as he was killed here in Holland on October 4, 1944. Three years later, my mom married my dad.
