Andy and family
This website is such a wonderful tribute to my cousin Joseph DelTorto and all the other brave heros that died in World War II.
The research you did to achieve this is incredible and my family was able to learn things about Joseph's 1st and only mission that were a mystery to us.
It is great knowing that there are people like you and your family who take time out of your busy life to pay tribute to our American heros and keep their story alive.
May you be blessed for your wonderful deeds.

Frederick DiBerto and family

Greetings
I live in Big Stone County, Minnesota.
My mother went to school with John Reardon for several years, and I am going to have her write you a message by e-mail, hopefully this weekend about what she remembers.
Please watch for it.
It is very cold here; tomorrow it should be -40 degrees wind chill and our city is having a golf tournament on the ice! BRRRRRRRR!!!!
Until the next message...

Hello
We live in Ortonville, MN which is in Big Stone County.
We want to thank you for your kindness in caring for the graves of these men.
What you do is a great deed and we appreciate it.
We have several veterans in our both of our families and if any of them were to fall and be buried in another country we would be so pleased to know that they were being remembered as you and your family are doing.

Hello
'I learned of your deeds from the Ortonville Independent Newspaper'.
Where I grew up as a teenager.
I always knew the graves were tended but I never knew they were adopted by families. That is so special!
What on honor you give to these fallen heros who sacrificed for us all here too.
My great Grandparents immigrated from Norway in the late 1800's to Northern Minnesota.
My father & many uncles served in WWII.
You do us all proud.

Thank You, Phillip

Bruce Wendland

Hello
I grew up right next to Big Stone County in Minnesota.
I was born in 1947 but have heard all my life about the huge sacrifices that your country and my country made during World War II.
I have been particularly interested to read of the Dutch efforts (the ten Boom family) to help the Jews during WWII.
I don't know the family of this soldier but I'm sure your letter to the newspaper will bring alot of people to look into your question.
I want to thank you very much for your work and concern.
The people of this area will be very thankful to hear of your efforts.
God bless you.

Mr. Swinnen,
I just wanted to tell you how much I appreciate you taking care of the gravesite of my uncle, Wade T. Brunson.
I am the son of Wade's brother, Donald R. Brunson who was also in WWII.
My father was a survivor of WWII.
He used to talk to us when we were kids about Wade.
I wish I would have known him growing up.
Thanks again,

Steve Brunson

Dear Andy.
This site is incredible.
When the tears clear from my eyes and my heart calms down,
maybe I can think of something deep and meaningful to say.
Right now, Andy, Monique, Marlon and Kelvin, just . . . 'Thank you.'

Dear Andy.
Thank you for this tribute to the men who died for our freedom and for yours.
I knew when I replied to your post that you were not from Belgium but the same thing applies to the people of the Netherlands.
We visited there when we went to Ardennes for the Memorial Day service in 2006.
We enjoyed our stay in Amsterdam and seeing the sights on our way through Europe.
You are invited to visit my site at www.lelandwalzel.150m.com

Hoi Andy.
Voor iemand die er geen verstand van heeft heb je wat mij betreft een mooie website gebouwd , en gezien de mailtjes hieronder ben ik niet de enigste.
Wederom een mooi document waarin de 'jongens' herdacht worden.
Hoop dat er nog veel volgen voor je site.

Groetjes Jean
