Frank Perconte is buried here. 101st 506 par co.E (band of brothers). For those that dont know this mans story among the others he served with. They landed on the coast of Normandy hours before the invasion. Pushing through Europe Holland Dutch countryside. They also among thousands of others (including my grandfather 9th armored divison) were concentration camp liberators finding dachau. They took hitlers eagles nest before the war ended in Europe.
Clean. Peaceful. My safe place.
Beautiful cemetery. I might choose to be buried here. It was very peaceful.
frank perconte, one of the original members of the 506th regiment, Easy Company, is buried in this cemetery.
I used to run around and play here as a little girl. I would try and figure out how old people were based on birth and death dates. It was always sad to see the babies, and kids in there, wondering how they passed. It may look creepy but I'm nostalgic when I see this place.
