There are other folks still finding the missing for relatives, Uwe Benkel springs to mind.
... missions were to be met by the commitment of alerted swarms of fighters, composed of Me 109's and Fw 190's, that were strategically based to protect industrial installations. The inferior capabilities of these fighters against the Mosquitoes made this a hopeless and uneconomical effort. 1.JD KTB

Short of mentioning political parties...that congressman(no caps on purpose) should be run out of office. Total disrespect for a heroic serviceman who gave his life, and for his widow, grieving for all those years. DISGRACEFUL.

I have an uncle on my mother's side that died.  we arent sure as my grandma all she got was a letter from him saying he was going to a place called europe as he got drafted when he moved to the usa looking for work.  on my father's side we have 2 or 3 relatives that were called back to germany to fight.  they were all born in mexico and didnt speak german according to my grandma who remembers them.  she always told me about how handsome they were with their blue eyes and blond hair.  they were in the navy and were never heard from again.  that's all they knew.

it's sad.  how many mothers, fathers, and wives didnt know what happened to their loved ones.
