UPDATE!!

We found the graves easily.

Near one side of a long row and yes the temporary markers are what is still there.

We read the group marker and had our own ceremony presenting a special american flag and red rose.

I hope this was ok, since any more flowers at this time would be just laid on the ground and seemed wasteful.

I will be back there again soon and will wait for the final stones to be placed and take pictures for you.

It is in an area of the cemetery very near my husband and adjacent to the Afghanistan War area. There are several "crew" graves in among rows of single sites. We must have recovered other plane crash sites recently.

The area is high and dry and the grass will soon be new and beautiful there. The side street is heavily treed and very shady and lovely. When you turn off Eisenhower it is completely "arched" over with mature trees.

I have put this in the open thread since others have commented about it, but if you care to send a home address via private email I will have a place to send pictures in the future.

Thank you for sharing your story. It made my families trip even more meaningful.
