Rick Mommers, who is from the Netherlands has adopted Adrian's grave and is anxious to find out more about Adrian and about any family that may still exist in the area.

The service that this young man is providing in adopting graves of fallen heroes is wonderful. It helps to preserve the history of our local service people. These are heroes that we should never forget.

We would love to hear from relatives or anyone who know of the Hoskins family

NB: I would appreciate if you would take the time and click on the following link and read the information researched and put together by Rick Mommers. There is a wonderful piece of history here that would have been lost but for his efforts. We in Logan County, Kentucky should be very thankful that this young man from the Netherlands has gone to such lengths on behalf of the Americans who died in Europe during World War II
