WWII - 82nd American Airborne Memorial (Reloaded) Multi-Cache

This cache has been archived.

WNCD: Happy to have influenced (at least) 15 Geocachers and a few friends to visit this remarkable site.

Unfortunately, based on angebucket32 having the correct coordinates and finding no cache container (it was an oversized plastic box), we have no choice but to archive this legendary cache.

Perhaps someone will be inspired to create a reload of the reload...

Geocache Description:

This Multi-cache serves as a tribute to Soldiers of the 82nd Airborne who made a significant breakthrough here during the night of 10 July 1943.

In addition, this reload calls attention to one of the early Virtual caches in this area - WWII - 82nd American Airborne Memorial


ENGLISH VERSION / VERSIONE INGRESS:

On the side of an old Sicilian farm house, that is still in use today, is where you will find this memorial to the brave men who lost their lives fighting for the freedom of so many.

VERSIONE ITALIANA / ITALIAN VERSION:

Dal lato di vecchia casa siciliana dell' azienda agricola, quello è ancora dentro uso oggi, è dove troverete questo memoriale agli uomini coraggiosi che hanno perso le loro vite che combattono per la libertà di tanti.

AND ON TO THE CACHE!

Created on Memorial Day in 2016, this is a fairly simple concept. It really helps to visit the memorial to gain the correct numbers for the blank spaces in the following names.

The final cache is located within 300 meters at N 37° 01.ABC E 014° 24.DEF.

A = 1st Lt. John D Spr_nkle

B = 1st Lt. Kurt B. Kle_

C = Lt. Col. Arthur Gor_am

D = PFC. Aloysius Bon_yk

E = CPL. Cornelius J. Moyn_ham, Jr.

F = Sgt. Gerald L. Lu_lam

To gain appreciation for the gauntlet that the 82nd Airborne faced here, please allow time for visiting the bunkers that are uphill from the memorial .
