To a real American Hero,R.I.P!

I never had the chance to thank American veterans for what they did, to free us from the Nazis. Among those veterans, I learned just recently, was James Ike Eikner. I was too late to tell him personally what he has meant to us, simple people in Belgium.
Thank you mr Eikner. May you rest in peace.
