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.
