What a great informative website! Thank you Albert for keeping alive the memory of our love ones killed in the Battle of the Huertgen Forest.
Today is Memorial Day in the U.S., when we honor our fallen U.S. soldiers of all wars. With the help of various people, including Albert, I finally found out the story of what happened to my great-uncle PFC Conrad Howard Jorgensen of the 26th Infantry Regiment, 1st Infantry Division, who was killed Thanksgiving Day 1944 in the Battle of Huertgen Forest. Conrad Howard's body was buried by German soldiers on a farm in the village of Merode. Albert's father was one of the persons who located his body for the U.S. Army after the war. His body was then transferred to an American cemetery in Belgium for identification and finally to the U.S.
Today some other family members and I finally visited Conrad Howard's final grave with flowers and a flag.
Thank all of you who work so hard for freedom!
