As we come together with family and friends to celebrate Memorial Day, let us not lose sight of the meaning of the day – to remember those men and women who have died in service to our country. Tomorrow, May 28, 2024, will be the 80^th anniversary of the death of my uncle, Stanley Goldblum. Private Stanley Goldblum, of the 180 Infantry, 45 Division New York, was killed in action in the battle of Rome. He is buried at the Sicily-Rome American Cemetery which is on the north edge of the town of Nettuno, Italy, which is immediately east of the Anzio beachhead. Let us remember all who gave the ultimate sacrifice for our nation. May his memory be for a blessing.
