More about Staff Sergeant John W."Bill" Daley

I remember as a Very small child(3 or 4 years old?) noticing a picture of a very handsome young man in a military uniform at Grandma Daley's house, and when I asked who was in the picture? I was told that that was Dad's " older brother Bill, who was killed in WW II in the  Battle of the Bulge ".

And that picture has stayed in my mind over the years, an old sepia toned picture ....so much so, that when I first saw Band of Brothers and the episodes about that battle, I began to cry, thinking of my Dad's brother.

I found out where my Dad's brother is buried, on the

American Battle Monuments Commission website
