D.A.T. Posted June 4, 2009 Share #42 Posted June 4, 2009 As I'm over here in Germany, and not where I belong, Washington State, I can't take a picture of my mother's brother's (my uncle) grave in Enumclaw, WA., Mark Cinkovich, who was KIA on Okinawa, a member of the 77th I.D.. My aunt named me when I was born, my middle is Mark, and my son's name is Mark. One of my cousins wrote a nice story about him. I'll take a picture of his grave next time I'm home. http://www.crossofdiscovery.com/2004/12/no...en-soldier.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Custermen Posted June 4, 2009 Share #43 Posted June 4, 2009 Two heros ... General Theodore Roosevelt Jr. Next to him is buried his brother, Quentin Roosevelt, who was shot down in WW1. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Custermen Posted June 4, 2009 Share #44 Posted June 4, 2009 This great-great-Uncle may not be a "hero" in the eyes of most people. The family just restored his headstone to add his military service. Prior to this, anyone who saw his marker would wonder why he died at 20 AND in December 1861 before there were any big battles in the War. Last month a memorial service to dedicate his new marker and included a cannon volley by an original 3-inch ordnance rifle. Pvt Robert E. Cole enlisted early in the Civil War and marched off to do his duty. During the winter months at Camp Beauregard, KY, Pvt Cole and other members of the 22nd Mississippi Regiment died of pneumonia, including their commander Colonel Bonham. Years later, the surgeon of the regiment wrote in a letter that the camp had an outbreak of meningitis. His father traveled to Kentucky and returned his son back to their home in Black Hawk (in Carroll County), Mississippi for burial. Pvt Robert E. Cole Died Dec 1, 1861 Black Hawk Rifles Co. G, 22nd Mississippi His father, Pvt Richard W. Cole, was one of 20 Confederates killed in the Battle of Fort Pillow(aka the Massacre) and his burial location has yet to be discovered.

Nam67 Posted June 4, 2009 Share #45 Posted June 4, 2009 My heroes are 3 members of my family who died in WW1 & WW2 (the Swain brothers died in WW1 and a Bradbury died at the hands of the Japanese after Singapore), however they aren't American. One of my 'American' heroes is actually Irish but served with the USMC during the Vietnam War. He is buried at the St. Pancras, Islington and Finchley Cemetery in London, UK. I came across Arthur Fisher's grave whilst visiting the grave of my wife's Nan & brother. The finding of Arthur's grave was what got me into researching the Vietnam War after 25 or-so years of researching WW1. A photo of Sgt. Arthur Fisher's grave, that I took, can be found at: HERE (ignore my e-mail address as that is now defunct). Another hero of that war is Robert Jacey Todd, USMC, who went MIA on the very day I was born in '67; I wear an MIA metal band everyday since I found out about him.
