Thanks for sharing the details about the Sentinel of Memory. I knew a little, but not much. That was a really interesting video.

You can become a sentinel too JD. Too many graves are not yet adopted!

Nicely done Marcel. Great to see you have your own channel on YT. Learned a lot about a place that I have visited many time in the past.

My great uncle Lee Bobb (KIA 13 March 45, 60th IR) was interned at HC and repatriated to Clintonville, WI in 1947. Many of the soldiers were returned to the US based on their family's requests. A few years ago I was able to contact and thank the daughter of the young Belgian lady that looked after my great uncle's grave in 1946. Our family would like to express our respect and heartfelt appreciation to everyone who has adopted the grave of our heroes. May God bless our soldiers and may He bless the ones that look after their graves.

Thanks for sharing your amazing story! Adopting a grave is the least we can do for these men who gave their lives for our freedom. Really great you were able to find the family who looked after your great uncle’s grave.

We visited Henri Chappelle American Cemetery a few years ago. Since then weve been to Luxembourg American Cemetery, our town Hero, Emilio Marandino is buried there and Normandy American Cemetery.... All are beautiful and maintained with love and pride. Thank you for the revisit to this beautiful memorial for our fallen soldiers...... ❤️

What a beautiful day for filming. The soldiers who are buried together as they were found is quite remarkable. I hope channels like this really inspire people, particularly young people, with any interest in world history. Putting the personal stories together of the fallen helps people to conceptualize the true cost of war, it’s not a linear timeline of battles, it’s about the ultimate sacrifice. I’m sure each soldier buried there had a unique reason or way of coming to terms with that before death.

It was a really nice day when I was there. And thank you for your words, couldn’t agree more!

The film "Saints and Soldiers" is based on some of the men that escaped at Malmedy. Its a good film.

My uncle Frank, Francis Grimes Harris, is buried in Henri-Chapelle. He was in the Medical Corps as a pharmacist and was at the 15th General Hospital in Liege, Belgium when it was stuck by a German V-1 rocket on 24 November 1944. He was one of 16 men killed from that attack. At first he was buried at a temporary American Military Cemetery in Fosse, Belgium. Some of the 16 killed were repatriated to the U.S. but most were buried at Henri-Chapelle. I have often wondered if anyone is looking after his grave there or knows anything about him. I have pictures and family information about him. Can you please see if I can get in touch with whomever is his Sentinel. His grave number is Lot H, Row 9, Grave 11. Thank you so much!
