X post from GD.
Marta contacted the Omaha World Herald. They did some detective work and got the Wall Cemetery mowed!
Marta's Graveyards of Omaha site: http://www.graveyardsofomaha.com/
Marta's Wall Cemetery pages includes the info on how he was killed by friendly fire in 1944: http://www.graveyardsofomaha.com/submarine/submarinel_main.html
This is how the cemetery looked several years ago.
Today's pix below.
