Remember there are National Cemeteries<br />
Please try to publicize<br />
national cemeteries.<br />
Many veterans and their<br />
wives do not know about eligibility<br />
for burial for former<br />
service members.<br />
I and Ray Torok participate<br />
in four parades from March<br />
through October. Ray served in<br />
the <strong>Korean</strong> <strong>War</strong>; I served in<br />
WWII and the <strong>Korean</strong> <strong>War</strong>.<br />
The truck in which we ride<br />
during the parade usually carries<br />
veterans. We publicize the<br />
Ohio Western Reserve<br />
National Cemetery, located 50<br />
miles south of Cleveland, OH.<br />
I have made plans to be<br />
buried in that cemetery alongside<br />
my wife of almost 60<br />
years, Louise Celena<br />
Andrianne Aleksandrowicz.<br />
She was a Belgian “war bride.”<br />
We were married in 1945 in<br />
Liege, Belgium.<br />
Francis J. Aleksandrowicz,<br />

Frank Aleksandrowicz (L) and Ray Torok (R) stand by their parade vehicle<br />
The grave where Francis L.<br />
Aleksandrowicz will be buried alongside<br />
his wife (see inset) is marked<br />
with flowers<br />
