William Edward Williams also known as "Uncle Ed"

My Dad sent me all the information I need to find the grave of my Great Uncle William on the D-Day beach. I never knew him, but I read the letters he wrote home.
Here's what I know about him:
He was a farmer.
He loved being outside and he loved working on the farm.
He also loved a gal who lived a few pastures over but not enough to marry her, not yet.
The first time he left Texas it was to go to basic training, become a medic and serve in World War II.
He was awarded a Silver Star and a Purple Heart.
My grandmother told stories about him coming home and sleeping on the porch so he could smell the outside air, that was in peach season. The air must have smelled like peaches.

At the cemetery, I'm to report to the front desk and a uniformed guard will escort me to William's cross. I hope they let me bring some flowers.
