Het doel van een adoptie is het bezoeken en aandacht schenken aan een graf van een gesneuvelde soldaat.
De frequentie van het grafbezoek mag je zelf bepalen, wel word van je gevraagd of je bij speciale gelegenheden (kerstmis, memorial day, verjaardag) bloemen wilt neerleggen bij het graf, maar dit is niet verplicht, amar natuurlijk wel een mooi gebaar.

Na vele brieven later.....heb ik eindelijk meer informatie ontvangen over Joseph Orsini:
355th Infantry Regiment, 89th Infantry Division, Company M, Second Platoon.
Hij ontving naast een purple heart ook de Combat Infantryman Badge.
In het War Dairy staat beschreven hoe hij is omgekomen.
All of us were terribly tired when we pushed on the morning of april 11. several towns were taken that day, among them dornheim, alkersleben, elxleben an torndorf. resistance was very sporadic, although 13 prisoners were taken. about all the attack amounted to was a long and hard march. that night we billeted in three small villages hoping at last for a good night sleep. our hopes were again shortlived. constant reports told of a concentration of tanks and enemy forces on our right flank and an anticipated attack at any time. as a result at least half of the battalion was on outpost during the night. the expected counter-attack did not materialize.
the next morning (april 12) we pressed our drive to the east through a wooded section bearing southwardly to clean out an enemy pocket. I was on the left, K on the right ans L in reserve with elements of M company attached to attacking companies. intelligence reports indicated a concentration camp in the woods which I company found empty.
K company's leading platoon surprised three enemy soldiers preparing to dynamite a bridge leading into tannroda. 2 escaped the third was captured an d capt. brown gave him the choice of removing the demolition from the bridge or being shot. a 1000 pound aerial bomb was speedily removed.
a temporary battalion cp was set up in tannroda and the town cleared by K and L. a volksturm warehouse containing many rifles and burp guns and cans of jam was found. the kraut jam tasted good on K ration crackers.
because of the dense forest radio communication was inadequate and contact with I was poor. about noon a messenger from HMGplatoon attached to I reported that they had run into enemy infantry supported by tanks and in the skirmish had lost 4 M company and one I company jeep. due to inaccurate map directions we were unable to send aid.
actually I attacking through the woods encoutered a road block. the foor elements had no difficulty by passing it but the jeeps were turned south looking for a road. the map showed a road that could be utilized to by pass the block. actually the road marked our right boundary and the 354th infatry attacking on our right at least 2 miles behind us. the krauts allowed 5 jeeos to turn on to the road and then opened up with MGfire. only one man, an M company driver was hit. he was killed instantly. the rest of the men were able to scramble from their vehicles and take cover in the woods.
Ik zou graag nog meer informatie willen over zijn achtergrond...iemand tips?

vandaag heb ik weer post ontvangen. (individual deceased personal file)En bij het vluchtig doorlezen ben ik erachter gekomen dat Joseph Orsini geboren is op 22 oktober 1925 en dus 19 jaar was toen hij sneuvelde (veroorzaakt door een schedelbreuk). Hij was getrouwd met Dorothy A. Orsini.(later hertrouwd)
Bij zijn lichaam zijn 2 handmessen gevonden, een bruine lederen portomonee, een armband, een pen, een zilveren ring, een gouden trouwring, een soc. sec. card, 40 souveniers munten(van andere landen?) en 11 foto's.
Hij overleden is in Tannroda en tijdelijk begraven is op de begraafplaats in Eisenach op 14 april 1945 om 13.00 uur en is op 20 juni 1945 om 11.00 uur in Margraten herbegraven.

Super gaaf dat jullie dat doen!,
Ik vind het ook interssant, en mij lijkt het ook wel leuk om te adopteren maar het is een beetje te ver voor mij, als het in mijn dorpje kon, overigens maar 6 Canadese Mensen, zou ik het zekers doen, in de Dodenherdenking leg ik altijd wel bloemen maar mij lijkt het wel leuk om dat ook te doen
Maar ik vind het superleuk dat je dat doet RLS, en andere Personen!!
Petje Af!
