Message Board Post:
I visited the Manila American Cemetery several weeks ago and thought of our soldiers that
didn't return from the war and other wars. I wondered if their families had been able
to make the trip and see the graves. My camera was with me and I walked a few more feet
and took a photo of the grave of a soldier from Ohio, then it hit me; take ones of the
Indiana servicemen and try and unite them with their families. Since that time I have
found 109 names that are on the lists here and are from Central Indiana. Sixteen were
listed from Madison County and twelve were Missing in Action or lost at sea. The other
four I do not have photographs of the gravesites yet but will in the coming weeks. I am
looking for information including obituaries and email addresses for the families so I can
communicate with them.
