🇺🇸 HELP US HONOR A FALLEN WWII HERO WHO IS FINALLY HOME 🇺🇸
After more than 80 years, U.S. Army Pfc. Albert H. Marks is finally coming home.
On April 2, 2026, the Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency officially identified the remains of Pfc. Albert H. Marks, a local New York soldier who had been missing since World War II.
Pfc. Marks served with Company G, 2nd Battalion, 357th Infantry Regiment, 90th Infantry Division. On December 7, 1944, during an assault to capture Dillingen, Germany, he was killed by enemy artillery during fierce fighting near Pachten. His body could not be recovered at the time.
For more than eight decades, he remained among our nation’s missing.
Through years of investigation and advances in forensic science, Pfc. Marks was finally identified—and now he is coming home to receive the honor and recognition he has waited more than 80 years to receive.
His memorial service will be held:
October 24, 2026
11:00 AM
Montrepose Cemetery
75 Montrepose Avenue
Kingston, NY 12401
Following the service, a luncheon will be held for approximately 100 family members, Veterans, and guests who have gathered to honor Pfc. Marks.
We are asking our community to help us provide this meal by making a monetary donation toward the cost of the luncheon. Every donation, regardless of the amount, will help us provide a welcoming meal for Pfc. Marks’ family and those who have come together to pay their respects.
This is about more than providing lunch.
It is about showing his family that their loved one was never forgotten.
It is about Veterans honoring a fellow Veteran.
And it is about a community coming together to say:
🇺🇸 Welcome home, Pfc. Albert H. Marks.
Your sacrifice mattered.
You were never forgotten. 🇺🇸
If you or your business would like to make a monetary contribution toward the luncheon, please contact the Hudson Valley National Center for Veteran Reintegration at 845-399-2645.
Please consider donating and sharing this post so we can give Pfc. Marks and his family the homecoming they deserve.
No soldier should ever be forgotten.
