Honor Mission - David Rosenkrantz, KIA US Army WWII - MULTI-CITY, California
The family and the US Army have invited the Patriot Guard Riders to be there for a hero's return and his funeral. SSG David "Rosie" Rosenkrantz, 27 yrs of age, was serving with the US Army in Holland as part of the 82nd Airborne, 3rd Battalion, 504 Parachute Infantry Regiment, H Company. His unit was involved in a battle that the 1977 film "A Bridge Too Far" was based on.
SSG Rosenkrantz was killed in that battle and was listed as MIA at the time. Shortly thereafter. on September 28, 1944, he was declared Killed In Action. He had seen a lot of action all over Europe for 2 years previous to this battle, he and 1 other soldier had captured 200 Italian soldiers from Mussolini's Army, the Italian Socialist Republic. He was awarded the Bronze Star and the Purple Heart for his exemplary service.
Rosie was an artist who loved to sketch portraits and would do this in his spare time between battles while in camp, always trying to carry paper and pencils. It helped him to take his mind off the war. He also wrote many letters home to family which they cherished over the years even though they would never find closure until now that SSG Rosekrantz has been identified with the help of the Dutch people, and is now coming home, 73 years later.
