Richard H. Gentzel

We are Dennis and Gerda from the Netherlands.
We have adopted the name of Richard Gentzel on the Walls of Missing at the American War Cemetery of Margraten in The Netherlands.
To honour our adopted soldiers we made with the help of the families a website dedicated to these heroes. YTou can view it at:
www.theyfoughtforfreedom.nl
There you can read about their lives and learn from the heroes who fought for our freedom.
Thank You.
