Biography

The Fields of Honor Foundation remembers American soldiers who have lost their lives in World War II and who are either buried or memorialized as missing in Europe. The Netherlands-based nonprofit has compiled a database of more than 34,000 Americans who have been either buried in or listed at the Walls of the Missing at the overseas American War Cemeteries in Ardennes, Epinal, Henri-Chapelle, Lorraine, Luxembourg, and Margraten. By drawing on the extensive archive that the foundation’s volunteers have established, as well as by conducting additional research, including a range of outreach to American families and organizations, Jori Videc, Sebastiaan Vonk, and Arie-Jan van Hees compiled the touching stories of the soldiers remembered in The Faces of Margraten.
