In order to do our part to protect public health and safety in the midst of the Covid-19 pandemic, this year’s Memorial Day ceremony for Robert Heingartner is cancelled.  

Robert Heingartner was the US Consul in Liège during World War I and he died at post during the war.  Although he did not serve in the armed forces, he played a critical role in the Commission for Relief in Belgium during World War I.  We honor him as a tribute to the civilians who died in service to their country in times of war.
