Willard J. Clouse, of Kentucky,
SSGT 320 FA BN 82 ABN DIV SN 35135378 (Plot B, 1 ,20), was killed in action (KIA) June 7, 1944 (D-Day +1), and is interred in the American Cemetery in Normandy, France. In tribute to Willard, and 41 of his comrades likewise interred at Normandy, full-size reproduction markers (pictured) have been created for the D-Day Memorial.

 

Many came to visit. Perhaps even some old comrades.

 

"Where do we find such men?"

Attributed to many, but perhaps most notably to
Sir Winston Churchill.

Touching Contribution from an Anonymous Visitor

On Saturday, 6th June, 2009, an anonymous visitor placed two service medals (WAR ON TERRORISM) and (IRAQ CAMPAIGN) on the replica monument for "A COMRADE IN ARMS KNOWN BUT TO GOD" at the Atlanta D-Day memorial. It is with the greatest sense of respect and gratitude this heartfelt contribution is accepted and will be maintained. Thank you for a most generous and intimate contribution.
