My uncle, Pfc. Charles Williams, Jr. was killed in action near Schmidt, Germany on November 8, 1944.

He was with the 112th Infantry Regiment - 28th Infantry Division and was on a mission to capture
and hold the small German village when he died as the result of a severe shrapnel wound of the hip.

Unfortunately, his remains were not repatriated back to the United States.

He now rests in Plot C, Row 15, Grave 41 in Henri-Chapelle American Cemetery.

Like thousands of other brave young men, Europe is his final resting place.

This website is dedicated to preserving the memory of all Americans who gave their lives for
the freedom of others and who remain in honorable rest so far away from home and loved ones.

It is also established to honor the veterans of World War II who returned home and who lived to
tell the stories of their experiences to future generations; the beneficiaries of their deeds.

Furthermore, this website recognizes the caring individuals and families who have, for one reason
or another, taken it upon themselves to selflessly adopt and care for the graves of our fallen heroes.

This website is exclusively owned and operated by
Kevin D. Klump
for the sole purpose of remembering and honoring those who served
during WWII to protect their family, their country, and all mankind.
