TRIBUTE TO FALLEN COMRADES
On May 31, 2000, five members of the College of Puget Sound's ASTP unit traveled to the American Military Cemetery in Henri-Chapelle, Belgium to visit the graves of five of their fellow ASTPers who are buried there. The group decorated the graves of ASTP men Robert Fordyce, Edward Frank, Lewis Grove, Julius La Rosa and Patrick Lynch with the five Belgian families who have adopted their graves. The visit to the cemetery was part of a tour of those places where the ASTP/CPS men fought in Belgium and Luxembourg during the Battle of the Bulge as members of General Patton's 11th Armored Division.
