Army Private William M. Shaw was a Fayetteville, NC native who served in World War II. He was killed in action in France on September 12, 1944. He is permanently buried at the Lorraine American Cemetery and Memorial (Plot C, Row 21, Grave 25) in Saint-Avold, France.
This is the shared history that brings our sister cities together and we honor that this Memorial Day. Special thanks to Maryline Clement, a French teacher, who helped us order the flower arrangements in Saint Avold for Memorial Day.
