US Military Cemetery Hamm Luxembourg.m4v
WW2; Luxembourg; General S. Patton Jr.US Military Cemetery
I am going to Hamm, Luxembourg to visit our some of heroes from World War II that paid the ultimate sacrifice in the line of duty. It is the resting place of 5,076 Americans that fell during World War II.
The American Cemetery was established on 29 December 1944 as a temporary burial ground for soldiers killed in the fighting in the Ardennes. General Patton himself was buried here on Christmas Eve 1945, three days after he died in Heidelberg. His original grave was is an area now designated as Plot F and was moved to the top of the burial plots in 1947.
Among those buried here, there are 118 soldiers of the Jewish faith, whose headstones are in the shape of a Star of David, 22 pairs of brothers and one pair of close friends buried side by side at the request of their families, and one woman, an Army nurse.

I have been there, to many in Belgium and Luxembourg. They still care about what was done to liberate them. Good on you CSM Michael J. Uhlig.

I don't ask for or look for "Free" anything on this day or another,,, as I understand, nothing is really Free.
What did I do that was special today?
Same as every day, I work up, felt pain, remembered pain, breathed in and remembered, some who did not wake up this morning, all of who deserved to more than I....same as I will do tomorrow and the next day, until I tire of of it.
