Private Monroe Suggs, of Anniston, Al. Serving with the 167th Alabama Infantry Regiment, killed 26 July, 1918 during the battle of Croix Rouge Farm and buried in Oise-Aisne American Cemetery in France. My Grandmother's only sibling, they were very close and she never got over grieving for him. Rest in Peace, Grand Uncle Monroe.
An Army Air Forces member who was killed 80 years ago during World War II has been identified and accounted for, and will be laid to rest in his Illinois hometown days after Memorial Day. Tech. Sgt. James Howie, who was 24 at the time, was a radio operator on a B-24 Liberator bomber on August 1, 1943, when it was hit by enemy anti-aircraft fire and crashed north of Bucharest, Romania, during Operation Tidal Wave, the US Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency said. After the war, Howie’s remains were never identified, the agency said. His remains, along with the remains of other unidentified comrades, were buried as “unknowns” in the Hero Section of the Civilian and Military Cemetery of Bolovan, Ploiesti, Prahova, Romania, the agency said.

HM3 Ho, half-Chinese/half-Anglo, half-American/half-Hawaiian. Saved my life right up until he lost his.
His sacrifice embodies the courage of those who served in WWII. On this Memorial Day, let's pay tribute to Private Suggs and express gratitude for all who dedicated their lives to protecting our freedom. My grandpa also died there, and we had a ceremony organized by Aquamation - Green Farewells. I'll never forget that day.
