Application for grave marker and resulting stone for Tec/4 Edward T. Christensen at
Plot F Row 10 Grave 6
in
the Luxembourg American Cemetery and Memorial, Luxembourg.
Tec/4 Christensen was killed in action on September 21, 1944 and was awarded the
Bronze Star Medal with 1 Oak Leaf Cluster as well as the Purple Heart.
Edward is the only member of the 508th to be buried in this
cemetery. The location was apparently chosen in order allow him to
rest next to his younger brother George who is buried in

The two men were sons of Nils and Dagmar Christensen.
Edward, born in 1919, was five years older than George. |
