Mark, Michael, and I joined Kaitlyn and the Girl Scouts to clean the gravestones at the cemetery. It was a very moving experience. Nearly 4000 are buried there with over 5000 listed on the wall for those that were killed but not able to be buried. “Only God knows where they rest.” When someone comes to visit a specific marker, the staff put sand from Normandy beach in the letters, this makes the names highlight gold and stand out for the photographs.
I’d like to do a story for the Bugle on the cemetery and the Scouts who care for the markers. I have many readers who were there or had relatives who would appreciate it.
Nice photos!

NBC’s Tom Brokaw did a 1 hour piece tonight on WW2 in England and showed the Cemetary you guys worked at this year …
