Hi Art,

This is from the American Battle Monuments Commission site:

Robert E. Morneweck
Private First Class, U.S. Army
36956700
506th Parachute Infantry Regt, 101st Airborne Division
Entered the Service from: Michigan
Died: April 12, 1945
Buried at: Plot E Row 20 Grave 17
Netherlands American Cemetery
Margraten, Netherlands
Awards: Purple Heart with Oak Leaf Cluster

Art, I am building a website dedicated to all Allied servicemen either KIA in Holland or buried here. I have been to Margraten many times. The idea is that I end up with a page of each person with all information I can find on him.

Will sent you an e-mail about that...and answer the ones you've sent me... Haven't been back from holiday that long. Backlog of e-mails...

Your brother is mentioned in the 506th roll of honor in Rendezvous With Destiny. The book shortly mentions an cross river assault by A company 506 on the night of 11-12 April 1945, in which three paratroopers were killed. No names are given. If you want I can put that particular bit on line here. I have to get off the computer now.

Stevin
