    Didn't Gen. Kelly give that speech a couple of days after his son had been killed in Afghanistan? Makes it even more impressive.

    I lost a few friends. The one that really, really gets to me was my buddy Efrain Martinez, a Spanish Jew. "Marty" was killed by a boulder in Marine Mountain Warfare School.

    Generations of Dutch citizens still trek to the graves of US World War II soldiers
    But what's different about the one in Margraten is that each of the graves is cared for by a Dutch citizen.

    "Local people go to the gravesites a couple of times a year to bring flowers and to thank the liberators," Hermes says. "We are very grateful for what the Americans did in the second world war, and we want to show that by taking care of the graves."
