Grave Marker
My husband and I visited family in Holland this past summer. We made sure to see a few important memorials. I took this photo and others like it at beautiful Groesbeek Canadian War Cemetery. I did not even know about this site but I'm glad I found it and could contribute something. Thank you. -
