Raymond S. HOBACK - 29th Division.
Bedford Boys Fallen - Raymond Samuel HOBACK never had a chance to reach 100 years old today. Instead, he sacrified his life for our freedom...

RIP - Robert GIGUERE - Navy.
It is with heavy heart we learn the passing of Mr. Robert GIGUERE, a veteran of D-Day (Normandy)... He was 93...

On a recent visit to the American Cemetary at Omaha Beach, my first, I brought with me a small flag from my birthday last year (I was born on the 4th of July in 1953). I wanted to honor a d-day veteran by placing it on a grave. I chose the grave of Pvt Claude E. Hope a young man who died on d-day. Honored by David Zensinger [2013-06-24 17:26:42] |
