His grave was adopted by a Dutch family who are now part of our family. They care for his grave, visit regularly, and attend the formal memorial services. We treasure our relationship with them and all the Dutch. There are over 8,000 American dead at Margraten, and every single one has been adopted by a Dutch family. There are waiting lists for people who want to do the same.
Like I said, I understand you posted in humor, and am not offended - I just wanted to point out our view of the Dutch.
Good sailing, KM!
