Anthony J. Chontos

There is a discrepancy between this record which lists DOD as 3rd May 1944 and the Marion County Cemetary records which list date as 30 May 1944. Which date is accurate? What battle did Anthony Chontos participate in on 3rd May or 30 May resulting in his death. He was a paratrooper on Anzio.
