Hello Sir,
I would like to adopt the grave of an American veteran who died on December 17, 1944.
I have already done some research.
I would like to retrieve as much information as possible concerning the PVT CLIFFORD H. PITTS in order to maintain a duty of remembrance and take care of his grave regularly.
In order to maintain his memory.
Perhaps contact a family member.
Yours sincerely and with great respect.
