Dear Ben, ( I assume I can call you by your first
name?)
What a truly amazing thing email is! I just wrote
you yesterday afternoon and this morning you forward to me an answer in response
to your enquiry from Belgium. I am very grateful for your quick action on
my request for any information and will be awaiting anything further you might
be able to add. What a wonderful thing for Milt's comrades to do to have
his name and the other trooper's, engraved on those candle sticks.
You, and the other remaining troopers who might have known
Milt, perhaps would like to know that Milt is buried in his home town of Tucson,
Arizona. I had wanted his body to remain in the Henri Chappell Cemetery
with his 517th buddies, but his mother wanted him returned to his home. As
I had remarried by the time they DID return his body I had lost my status of
"next of kin" on this one issue, much to my regret.
Milt's daughter Sherry and I would like to make a $500
donation to the little Church in St. Jacques where the candle stick resides with
Milt's name engraved upon it. We would like to think that maybe some day
in the future some of the family will make a trip to Belgium and go by and see
this little Church, and the candle stick in Milt's memory. I do not know
how to make this donation, exchange from dollars to euros, etc. so perhaps you
could tell me how to handle this. Maybe Leo Dean could be a help, but I
don't have his email address. Sorry if I seem to be leaning on you for
your assistance and I don't want to be a bother.
Thanks for everything you have done.
