Default The price paid to liberate Europe...

I was sent these photos and numbers for those fallen in the European theatre during World War II. The pictures says it all and I think it is important to remember that some of our fallen brothers never made it back to U.S. soil.

God bless all of those, who laid down their lives for a friend. The photos are in order below corresponding with the location.
