    The daughter of a citizen of the Limburg Province in the Netherlands helps perform a sanding ceremony at the Henri-Chappelle American Cemetary and Memorial in Belgium on Sept. 15, 2019, where sand from Ohaha Beach, France is rubbed into the name on a headstone when friends or family visit the site, helping to make the name stand out. WWII Veterans who served with the 30th Infantry Division, their family, and Soldiers with the North Carolina National Guard, visited the cemetery where more than 300 Old Hickory Soldiers who died during WWII are buried. The group, who traveled to the Netherlands to participate in several celebrations commemorating the 75th Liberation of Belgium and the Netherlands by 30th Inf. Div. “Old Hickory” Soldiers in September of 1944, visited the graves of several 30th Soldiers
