I am Andy Swinnen from the Netherlands .
I recently adopted a grave of a soldier from WW2
We caretakers of the graves at the Netherlands/Belgium American Cemetery and Memorial ( Margraten and Henri Chapelle ) are the ones who will see to it that the men and women buried there will not be forgotten
I go there often with my wife and children to see that his grave is well being taken care for.
I always put flowers on his grave.
I now have Internet and i am trying to find out as much as possible about him but its very hard to find anything about him.
I would like to know everything about him so i can explane it to my children who s in that grave and what kind of man it was.
Now i am always looking at his grave and try to imagine who he was
I am trying the find a face or story behind the grave of this brave men, but i run out of help
So i hope i am at the right address.
Its about S/Sgt Theodore Monarcky ( ID 35771995 ) from West Virginia, who died on 2 nov. 1944 in a b-17 plane crash in Europe and flew with the 615th Bomber Squadron, 401st Bomber Group, Heavy
I really hope you can help me or know someone else.
Theodore's last name may also be found as Monarchy, and he may have enlisted in Kentucky although he was probably from West Virginia. I'm doing some searching on the 'net to see what I can find.
Regarding William Green on your Pennsylvania post, I found him as a 2nd lt. and as navigator on that last flight. I'm still pursuing his info as well.
I just found out that Theodore was from Ashland , Kentucky
I will post my search there,
Thanks
