UPDATE - JUNE - 2007 - per email from Karen (Gorman) Baker.
Her Dad (Edward J. Gorman) was in the 345th Regiment (Company G).
Karen said she just received the most recent Golden Acorn News,
and one of the stories reminded her husband that he had taken pictures of these grave markers while on a trip to Europe several years ago.
They are from 2 different military cemeteries (Hamm in Luxembourg and St. Avold in France).

There is also a photo of the 87th Division plaque at the MARDASSON MEMORIAL - BASTOGNE, BELGIUM.

She wanted to pass them along in tribute....and for anyone who might be interested.
If any family member of these men see this - please let us know.

Thanks to wonderful people like the Gorman's - who pull out their pictures and send them to this site - for all to view.

.. That's what this link of photos galleries are all about...

UPDATE - JANUARY 2008:
These 2 wonderful comments were posted after the photos of the grave markers were placed....Wow..
These were pertaining to the grave marker of St. Avold - France

Comment 1: From Stephanie Boshey :
My grandfather would be so happy to know where his brother was buried, he has always wondered & wished to visit the final resting place of his little brother before he had passed last year.
I would also like to thank you on behalf of my family for posting this picture it means a great deal to us.
My Grandfather is probably smiling now knowing that his family knows where his little brother final resting place is and again Thank You!

Comment 2 From sharlene ottertail:
This man Richard Boshey was my relative. He was the little brother of my Grandfather, John Boshey Sr.
My grandfather was suppose to go to war but decided not to.
Perhaps, that was the smarest thing he ever done in his life.
John Boshey Sr. passed away August 19, 2006 at the age of 94.
My Grandfather always wondered where they put his grave.
This is truly amazing, thanks so much to whoever took this photo.
My family we'll surely be visiting Richard Bosheys' grave in St. Avold, France one day.
