For the 55th Anniversary of the Battle of the Bulge in 2000, VBOB Life Member Patrick Kearney (11 ARMD DIV) arranged for Jacques Tourneur of Belgium to adopt the graves of four “Bulge” dead who are buried at the American Military Cemetery at Henri-Chapelle — Lee Brown, John Haney, Patrick Lynch and Chester Milhoan. They were all members of the 63rd Armored Infantry Battalion of the 11th Armored Division.

Jacques and his family have now adopted the graves of two more American soldiers at Henri-Chapelle. They are Jerome Matuszewski (18th Infantry Regiment, 1st Infantry Division) from Hawks, Presque Isle County, Michigan, and Charles Dilbeck (39th Infantry Regiment, 9th Infantry Division), from Habersham, Campbell County, Tennessee.

The Tourneurs would like to hear from the family and friends of these two men. If you are related to or knew Jerome or Charles, please write to: Jacques Tourneur, 2 rue Waehnet, B-4300 Waremme, Belgium.

Thank you.
Patrick Kearney
