    Sgt. 1st Class Rocco Covelli and wife Angela's infant son, Joseph, was laid to rest in the American Kindergraves, Kaiserslautern Germany in 1958. Baby Joseph is one of 457 American infants born between 1952 and 1971, who died at birth or shortly after at the U.S. Army hospital at Landstuhl or nearby civilian hospitals. An annual memorial service is held in their honor the Saturday after Mother's Day. Flowers and flags were placed on each gravestone for the May 14, 2022 memorial service.
