In Memoriam
by Susan Lewellyn Pamerleau for Eorls Lewellyn, Army, Honored by San Antonio National Cemetery
In memory of my dear Uncle Eorls Lewellyn, who served during World War II in a combat engineer company protecting the rear flank of the 28th Division as it went into the Battle of Bulge. He was captured by the Germans along with ~200 other soldiers, then marched and taken by train to Limburg, Poland. When the Russians were coming from the east, the POWs were taken to Bremerhaven in the British sector to be repatriated! He lived a full life for 90 years before his passing. My uncle and my Dad were twins… and Eorls gave a life-changing gift when he let my Dad take the only suitcase and $70 to go to Bible College, and then my uncle went into the Army. The photo depicts my Dad and my Uncle on their 89th birthdays… my Dad in the red shirt, and my Uncle in the white shirt!

Welcome to San Antonio National Cemetery and San Antonio Young Marines along with many others, thank you deeply for helping us with our goal to honor as many veterans as possible on Wreaths Across America Day, December 14, 2024 at 11:00am. Please click "View" to learn more about our effort or to volunteer to help or click "Sponsor" to purchase wreaths that will be laid on the graves of our fallen heroes by our loyal volunteers. We ask that you please scroll below to see all of the San Antonio National Cemetery's sponsors and choose one of THEIR pages to purchase wreaths. This helps all of our amazing sponsors. Additionally, if you have wreaths for Fort Sam National Cemetery, please choose SAN ANTONIO NATIONAL CEMETERY instead and we will ensure your wreaths are placed and photos are placed on our Wreaths Across America - San Antonio National Cemetery Facebook page. Be sure to let us know the correct information on the grave site, etc. If you do not choose San Antonio National Cemetery, we will not receive any information for your grave specific request and we will not receive your wreath, and therefore, cannot be sure to place the wreaths ourselves, for you.
