Does anyone have a relative buried in the WWII cemetery located in Florence, Italy


Does anyone have a relative buried in the WWII cemetery located in Florence, Italy?
I am going to the American Cemetery for WWII Soldiers in Florence, Italy in a week. I am going with my high school trip. We'll be putting flags at some of the grave sites for american soldiers and I was wondering if anyone had a relative they'd like honored. I figured this way it would mean something to someone as opposed to just a name I found on a website. Let me know, thanks.

Awww, that's so kind of you. I have a relative buried in Italy, but he's at the other American cemetery near Rome. I did a quick search and found some messages from people inquiring about relatives buried at the Florence American Cemetery. You could try contacting one of them... I'm sure they'd be very appreciative! http://www.findagrave.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=1365996 (This person would like a photo of is cousin's gravesite) http://www.italgen.com/Forums/viewtopic/t=6046/view=next/newlang=english.html http://www.behindthebadge.net/bloodstripes/memory/mem_s.html#S (scroll down to Jim S.
