Very cool.
My grandpa got shot 3 separate times moving through France towards Germany with the 29th infantry.
Wasn't super easy figuring out what rough dates those occurred. Would be interesting to see the area some day.

Please share what you discover. Makes you wonder if our descendants are going to make trips to Afghanistan and Iraq......

August 29th will be the 75th anniversary of my Great Uncle dying in France.
They have a memorial for him in Mitry Mory (just outside of Paris).

We searched with a guide. Talked to a couple of oldtimers. Think we pinpointed the close general area. Found a beautiful hill with cherry trees and natural flowers. My friend had a waterproff box with a pic of his dad and couple of momentos from great grandkids. He buried it under a cherry tree. Very emotional moment.

I'm tearing up, just reading this. Thank you for sharing.
