To my cousin's, my wife, Jill in researching my heritage discovered this venue,
I always respected your Father and Mom, both of whom served in defense of their country which today is rarity in our self absorbed nation.
As a former infantryman, I can only imagine what he experienced as a twenty year old on the beach at Normandy and the fields, hedgerows of France, the bitter cold of the Ardennes in the Battle of the Bulge and the untold horrors seen in the liberation of two Nazi concentration camps..
Hopefully, he rests peacefully in the company of your mother, his sisters, brother and his brothers in arms ot the 4th Armored Division (They shall be known by their deeds alone).
Hopefully this finds all of healthy and at pease.
Yours Joe and Jill Granquist
