This page is to honor and remember the men of Sicily-Rome 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 Sicily-Rome 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.

The spirit of Sicily-Rome is embodied in the central statue of "Brothers in Arms."

The 2015 Wreath and Banner was presented by then Superintendent Jay Blount.

The AWON Wreath for Memorial Day 2014 was presented by longtime AWONer Gail Brown and her husband, Rex.

The 2013 AWON Weath and Banner was presented by then Superintendent Christine Young.

The AWON Wreath and Banner for 2012 was presented by Patrick Antio, U.S. Navy, Grandson of AWON Member
Eileen Antio and Great Grandson of the man remembered ~ M/SGT James A Landwermeyer.

We want to thank the sons and daughters, other family, and the next of kin of the men of Sicily-Rome American for contributing over
the years to our annual Memorial Day remembrances ~ including wreaths like the one above and banners like the ones below ~
that remember these men by name. With special thanks to those who have been able to travel to be on hand to represent
so many of us who couldn't be there.

Respectfully,
Bob Meek. Jr.

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 31 AWON men of Sicily-Rome.

Bob Meek, AWON Treasurer, is one of just six AWON overseas coordinators who has been with the program since the beginning.
Bob remembers everyone at Sicily-Rome, but especially his father, 2LT Robert H. Meek, KIA 18 Oct 44, Milan, Italy.

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.
Until then, use the "Back" button on your browser to most easily return.
