Board of Directors member Betsy Sue Hull is shown at the American Cemetery in Luxembourg during an October 2012 visit. There are more than 5,000 headstones at the cemetery (including that of Gen. George S. Patton). Most of the soldiers were killed over a 6-week period between Dec. 1944 and Jan. 1945 in what became known as "The Battle of the Bulge." 19,000 Americans were killed during the last German offensive of WWII. The headstones at the cemetery reflect 371 soldiers Missing In Action, 101 Unknowns and 22 sets of brothers. Betsy has just placed a stone on top of a Star of David headstone, which, in keeping with Jewish tradition, signifies someone has honored the deceased person's memory with a visit to the grave.
