WWII Veterans Visit Cambridge American Cemetery

Published May 24, 2017

Staff welcome all kinds of visitors to our cemeteries around the world. And one group always receives VIP treatment—our World War II veterans.  In the past month, visitors representing the 95th and 100th Bomb Group visited Cambridge American Cemetery.  World War II veterans Ray Hobbs, a B-17 pilot, Dewey Christopher, a ground crew chief, and Joe Urice, a tail gunner, all visited the cemetery as part of these groups. Urice paid his respects to his friend 2nd Lt. Maurice Zetlan, who died in January 1944, and is buried in the cemetery.
