lie buried 8,301 American soldiers who died in "Operation Market Garden

They must have buried a lot of them alive. Total US casualties - killed and wounded - were under 4000 in Market Garden. (82nd about 1400 casualties, 101st about 2100).

So take the rest of the story with a grain of salt.

" a grain of salt."

My uncle, whom I am named after, is buried in Margratten and a Dutch family has tended his grave since some time after March 1945. They are still there and they still appreciate what it cost the USA to recover their country...don't use a reporter's ignorance of specific units or battles to cast stones!

The girl's performance was fine and the audience clearly shows that it's important to others if not to you.
