Dear folks, dear family of James,
we are the men in Germany who errected a memorial to remember for the the Americans who liberated the Buchenwald Concentration Camp and who means Peter Feldstein in his message of 21th August 2008.
It’s not only a memorial - it was the first memorial to remember for the Americans who liberated Europe, Germany and Buchenwald from the Nazi era in former Eastern Germany . And it’s a memorial to remember for the first Americans in Buchenwald.
We are very unhappy that Jim don’t had a knowledge about. All letters don’t received him because we had a wrong address.
But now, the family have to know that will be a remembrance for Jim and his buddies fare away from home. And it will be a remembrance for ever.
Jim, rest in peace, we don’t forget you.

At last, maybe Peter Feldstein have onetime a chance to send you a picture of the memorial.

Mr. Hoyt is at peace now, for the very first time since he was 19 years old, God rest his soul!

The pain some so-called human beings can inflict on others is beyond belief. We know where they go when they die. Thankfully Mr. Hoyt will not have to ever see them again.

a friend said he saw this story and wanted to remind me that he served with men not unlike Hoyt in Iraq. It’s amazing to think they’re still out there considering the indoctrination in our schools.
As for the photographer who took these pictures, Mr. Feldstein, from a comment above, thanks for mentioning how Germans are appreciative of the liberation of the camps, too. There are many stories America knows nothing about, like how the German resistance was bigger than the French made famous by film lore.

We must NEVER FORGET.

Everyone in this country should take a mandatory trip to the Holocaust Museum in Washington DC and spend an entire day there.

The Holocaust continues to this day, much thanks to intolerant Muslim extremism.

The father of a man I work with died a month ago.

His Obituary was amazing.
He survived the Bataan death march, and 3 1/2
years of forced labor in a Japanese coal mine.
His son said that he rarely spoke about the hardship,
like so many of his generation.

Daily, these heroes of WW2 are heading home,
long may they be remembered here.

Rest in peace, Mr. Hoyt. You were truly a righteous Gentile.
