Default Anyone near Ardennes American Cemetery in Belgium?

Hi guys,

My great uncle was killed in World War 2, and my grandmother (his sister), never got a chance to see his grave. Her 80th birthday is this month and I thought it would be a great present if I could track someone down that could get a picture of the grave. I know exactly what row, plot, and grave, so if anyone knows anyone from that area that could get a couple pictures for me, I'd be happy to mail or paypal you some money.

Here's the info:

Jerome J. Hentz
ID: 33557093
Entered the Service From: Maryland
Rank: Staff Sergeant

Service: U.S. Army Air Forces, 334th Bomber Squadron, 95th Bomber Group, Heavy

Died: Saturday, May 27, 1944
Buried at: Ardennes American Cemetery
Location: Neupre (Neuville-en-Condroz), Belgium
Plot: D Row: 5 Grave: 56

Awards: Air Medal, Purple Heart



If anyone could help that would be great, or if anyone knew of some sort of local forum from that area I could ask people on there.
