The seven years old son of one of our friends of the Margraten Memorial group, Erwin Flohr, is struggling with cancer. This young boy likes to receive greeting cards. Will you please be so kind and ask your friends for help. You know how important a “good mood” is for the health.
His address :
Quinten Flohr
De Kromme Geer 77
5709ME Helmond
Netherlands
This is of course a Worldwide Message and I think you could really take a moment of kindness to provide some joy for a youngster who really need help. His father is one who had adopted and decorates our 17th A/B Fallen Troopers’ Graves at Margraten Holland.
