Sergio G Moya

Son of Jesue Moya who resided in Los Angeles, California.

Sergio served as a Private First Class, Company E, 2nd Battalion, 506th Infantry Regiment, 101st Airborne Division, U.S. Army during World War II.

He resided in San Francisco County, California prior to the war.

He enlisted in the Army on February 19, 1943 in San Francisco, California. He was noted, at the time of his enlistment, as being employed in the fabrication of metal products and also as Single, without dependents.

Sergio was a passenger on C-47A #42-93095 which was part of the 91st Troop Carrier Squadron, 439th Troop Carrier, Group, U.S. Army Air Force during World War II.

Sergio was "Killed In Action" when this C-47A was believed to have been shot down by German anti-aircraft fire during the Normandy invasion and crashed at Beuzeville-au-Plain, Manche, France during the war.

He was awarded the Purple Heart.

He was originally interred overseas and was later repatriated here on March 27, 1951.

Service # 39124765

The reason he is named on a group headstone is because when soldier's were killed in close proximity to each other they were unable, at that time, to identify them separately and interred their remains together in one grave.
