My name is Matt Bruls from the Netherlands and I have adopted a grave on the American Cemetry in Margraten. The name of the PFC is: Dale Peterson from Idaho. He died on April 6 1945 in Germany. He was PFC in the 119th R. Please who can help me to give a face and a background to this young hero? Is there still family; how old was he etc.......
Dear Mr. Bruls: Please contact me at my E-mail address for further information on your inquiry.
