I am looking for information about Leroy M McKnight ( born 7-10-1919 ) who flew on a B17 "Maid to order" His aircraft crashed on Febr 16, 1945 in Holland. I adopted 3 graves at the ww2 cementery in Margraten the netherlands. We caretakers are the ones who look after the graves of these brave men. I go there every week to put flowers on their graves. These men are falling but will never be forgotten. I also adopted the grave of Joseph V Del Torto who flew with Leroy McKnight in the maid to order and didnt survived the crash. I go there every week to put flowers on their graves in Margraten. I am working on a story about the crew, so i can have a face behind the grave and tell my kids about them. If i could find some information or a photo of Leroy i would be very trilled Hope to hear from anyone Gr Andy Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

Andy, I have no information on Leroy M. McKnight, but wanted to write you and tell you thank you for your kindness. My dad fought in WWII (stationed in England, Italy, and N. Africa) and was fortunate enough to come home at the end of the war. It is nice to know that the ones who didn't make it home are taken care of. Thanks again, Sharman Hughes Barghols ----- Original Message ----- From: <gc-gateway@rootsweb.com> To: <ALMARION-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Sunday, June 24, 2007 6:26 PM Subject: [ALMARION] WWII Leroy M.
