Personal memorial on a tree in the Bois de la Paix (the Wood of Peace), near Bastogne,Walloon, Belgium.
"The Wood of Peace was made as part of the commemoration of the 50th anniversary of the Battle of the Bulge. Installed on land of 3 hectares, there are approximately 4000 species of trees on the board of Bastogne. These trees were planted so as to appear on the floor, the sky, the acronym UNICEF: Maternal and child, symbol of universal love. This timber is dedicated to the fighters and Belgian civilians and allies who fought for the freedom of our country. American veterans upon their return to the land of their struggles, have the opportunity to place a plate with their name and their unit at the foot of a tree."
