Foundation for Adopting Graves American Cemetery Margraten-Netherlands. (Documentary)
Музыка
The Foundation for Adopting Graves at the American Cemetery in Margraten offers the opportunity of adopting a grave of a fallen liberator or a name on the Walls of the Missing. The foundation also maintains the so-called Adoption Register, an extensive database with information about adopters and the graves they’ve adopted.
In this documentary some members of the Foundation tell about their activities, but also about the establishment of the cemetery in Margraten.
Some adopters tell about their adoption Grave en the story about their adopted soldier and the contacts they have with his relatives in the US.

To the Dutch from an American Vet. Thank you so much for this unbelievable kindness.
I’m former USAF. I’m honored and humbled that nearly 80 years and counting, Margraten Dutch are taking care of our boys. I’ve also heard from a friend that even today if a US soldier is in Netherlands wearing a Third Army patch, his money is useless in Dutch pubs. Thanks.🇺🇸🦅🇳🇱
Thank you so much for taking care of the men from my hometown that are buried there, Cpl Russell Owen Meade, Jr...Sgt Hugh Madison Jackson...Tsgt James Charles Thomas thank you and God Bless
As an American Military Officer, I am grateful that the strong bonds of alliance and friendship between our two nations finds a tangible tribute in the love and respect you show our American personnel. Thank you.
I'm so grateful to the family that adopted my Uncle's grave. Our families have shared many good times together. We have traveled there many times and the original adopters visited us. The family has kept their adoption going over these many decades. They are blessings in our lives. SSgt Harry F Sherman is my uncle.

May he rest in peace
Our unfinished bucket list , my uncles grave site , meet the adopting family. It may remain incomplete but it remains in our heart , god bless. Ken/ Linda.
Thankful for the American and Canadian soldiers who liberated our country.
Thank you. My grandfather William Klosterman is buried in this beautiful place surrounded by wonderful people. I will have to explore the website and perhaps learn about the adopters of his grave.
It's a tragedy that foreigners care more about the strangers who perished on their soil, than their own citizens. No surprise that there are almost 40,000 homeless veterans in the U. S. What a disgrace!
Emotional, yes , overwhelming yes . The same family has adopted my uncle’s grave since 1948 . I can never thank them enough. They provided several videos, my bucket list to visit Margraten is still on this short list . Please forward our thanks to every .😢

Hello mr. Harris, Thanks for your reaction. I'm only the producer of this video. But i'll send your reaction to the Foundation. Best Regards, Paul Ruth
My dad's brother was killed March 3rd, 1945, just weeks before the end of the war as the allies pushed toward Berlin. He is buried at Margraten Cemetery. Thank you to the Dutch people for taking such loving care of our boys. Greetings from America. 🇺🇸
I hope more people will see this video.

I'm weeping, so many of my brothers in arms that gave the ultimate sacrifice.. I honestly feel our fallen soldiers could not have picked a more grateful country worthy of their sacrifice than the people of the Netherlands.. You will always be in the hearts of the American public. I would like to apologize to the friends of America around the world.. It seems like with the democrats in charge of the house senate and presidency they all turned a blind eye on morality..If this was only a different in policy I would not have made this announcement and waited for the election in 2024..But this is all about morality, right from wrong , good from bad... It seems like the democrats in the name of votes lost track of our great nation, letting it spiral out of control never to recover under there Ideologies.. They have just sat by and let the fascist Liberals embarrass themselves, the Democratic Party, and our country... The liberal LBGTQ party is now welcoming men that sexually desire children into their ranks and rewarding them with their own pride flag(Maps flag).. Last time I looked pedophilia was against the law, and very strictly monitored...Still doesn't surprise me They also are encourage 12-year-old girls to surgically mutilate their bodies, b4 they are old enough to know the truth about gender... I can't forget dumping the schools curriculum in order to teach sexuality without permission from the parents to our 3,4 and 5 year olds with pornographic videos since they're not old enough to read..This is all part of their indoctrination process.. They call outward I'm a victim.. Who can I blame? instead of looking inward and saying how can I make myself better.. They convinced the world that Donald Trump was a racist for the last 10 years on his show he has never once been noted as a racist hes done more for the black community then the last 3 presidents b4 him.. I know you don't like trump cause hes a big mouth and I'm just telling the facts not praising him.But the liberals keep their millennials stupid and loyal They don't know why they're calling trump a racist a sexist but if you tell them to explain, they just yell louder without giving you any insight that's indoctrination at its best...
