Hi Stephanie,

Thank you for adopting the graves of our fallen men. My brother's grave in Ardennes has been adopted by Olivier Delmelle. I was privileged to meet him last year during our trip to Liege for the Memorial Day services. This year I received some pictures of the the gravesite and cemetery from Guy Robert, an email acquaintance. The kindness of the people of Belgium is much appreciated by my family and of all those who have loved ones buried on your soil. I only wish our own younger generations would learn to appreciate the freedom they enjoy because of the sacrifices made so long ago.

Stephanie,
 
Project Bits and Pieces is a 4 volume work about the 8th Air Force. It does not give great detail about any particular plane or crew but is very helpful to researchers in many ways. I have sent you a PM also.
