| Help needed-does anyone live close to San Bruno, California? Dear all, I´ve found a grave of one US flyer who was KIA over my born town in 1944 and was exhumed and reburied in USA later. I´d like to have a pic of his grave that is at Golden Gate National Cemetery in San Bruno (San Mateo County) in California. Should someone live close and should he be able to take few pics of his grave I´d post a details about him. Thank you very much in advance!

| I'm checking to see if I can find someone I know who would be able to get over to the cemetary and get some photos for you, Roman. If we can't find anyone able to, then I'll see what I can do to get down there myself.

| Thank you Dave, you don´t need to go down,there´s a time. I wanna have this pic for our future web site project and for a friend of mine who writes a book about American A/Cs lost over our country. I´m wondering also if he has some relatives there... Anyway, thank you for your wilingness!
