Did you see my post at http://tuscantraveler.com/2009/florence/anzio-american-nettuno-rome-wwii-cemetery/ on the Sicily/Rome Memorial near Anzio? Very impressive, but I still am partial to the Florence Memorial.

I just learned today that my uncle’s name is among those on the Tablets of the Missing at this cemetery. My father’s younger brother, his only sibling, I was named after him. Until today all I had of him was a photograph of a young man in uniform that I inherited from my father. A young man with a look of calm purpose but with a glint of mischief in his eye. I never knew him, but have always missed him. It is good to know that his memory rests in such a beautiful place.

I visited this War Cemetery on Monday 4 May. It is absolutely wonderful and ever so sad. The three gentlemen in the Office are very courteous. In fact although I took photos of the grave site of a distant cousin in the USA, these people will – on receipt of a formal request from a relative in the USA who gives their personal details, and who says that none of the family have ever had nor will be likely to have an opportunity to visit the cemetery – take a photo of the grave and send it back via computer. I was given the e-mail of the HQ in Washington who will send on the USA request of my distant relatives there. I’m not including this e-mail here, but a written letter to the American War Cemetery, Falciani, Florence, will arrive and the office personnel – will take it from there. Thanks for this site.
A visit to the cemetery is very much worth while, even if no relative is buried there..

Your kind comments are appreciated. You will find all of the American Battle Monuments Commission’s cemeteries just as inspirational.
