This page is to honor and remember the men of Netherlands American . . .
our fathers, uncles, brothers, and loved ones . . . on their day . . . at the one place on earth where they are most remembered.

For keeping this place on earth so well ~ we want to thank the American Battle Monuments Commission,
along with the Netherlands American Superintendent and his staff for the dignity and reverence the entire
ABMC team provides our fathers and the friends and loved ones who visit them.

Margraten Coordinator Gloria Zuccarella Layne remembers all our fathers, but especially
S/SGT Rocco Michael Zuccarella ~ along with her US and her Dutch families.

Joost Claassens and Gloria Layne renew an old friendship.

Edith, a longtime grave adopter at Margraten, marvels in reading the Banner names.

Tom Brewer took this photo of AWONer Barry Barr-Finch at the Margraten Wreath in 2015.

British AWON sister Angie Christian traveled from England to see the grave of her Father,
PVT Gilbert M. Bush. Angie came back to present the AWON Wreaths at Margraten in 2013 and 2014.

As you may know, cautions related to the Covid-19 virus caused the American Battle Monuments Commission
to close all ABMC overseas cemeteries to the public until further notice. But Memorial Day remembrances are happening
regardless, not just at our overseas cemeteries, but right here, right now, as we remember all who died in the cause of
freedom ~ including the 82 AWON men of Margraten.

Gerry Morenski, former AWON VP, wrangled Margraten as Coordinator for fifteen years, 2004 through 2018, with many thanks!
Gloria Layne, past AWON President and current VP, began in 2019 to handle Margraten arrangements. Gloria remembers
everyone at Margraten, but especially her father, S/SGT Rocco Michael Zuccarella, KIA 8 April 1945 ~ Werl, Germany.

Due to Covid, no public services were held on Memorial Day 2020.
Please be patient as we bring in treatments of 2004 through 2007 from another server.
