MARGRATEN
(A clearer version of the Margraten slide show can also be seen at "Related Links")


Slide show of Jim Hoel's visit to the Netherlands American Cemetery on April 15, 2005. He was escorted by his son, Gil and two Dutchmen, John and Dennis Prooi (father and son). John grew up in Rozenburg, the village where Jim's B26 ditched in 1943. John and his son had researched where each of Jim's fallen comrades were buried amongst the 8,302 grave sites of American soldiers. The group went to each site during the visit to pay their respects.
