Well just going by what he has told me. I haven't been there my self. His
Grandfather and Grandmother was from there he has gone back a few times. He
said all he saw in Rome was 1 small plaque on a wall and up on the old
German line of defenses he saw only one monument. If he was wrong if you
will make me a list of what is there I'll give it to him for his next trip.
I know he would appreciate it. He was really disappointed that there was not
more as his dad fought in Sicily and up through Italy. He was with the 701st
Tank Destroyers. He won the Bronze Star.
Thanks

I don't agree with you.
