But the 28-year-old day-care worker had just one destination in mind: Harlan County, Ky.
The 4,000-mile trip closes a loop in a relationship that has its roots in the grave of a World War II soldier who died more than half a century ago.
For almost two years, Van de Straete has tended the grave of Henry Lee “H.L.” Burkhart, and for more than a year, she has corresponded with H.L.’s great-nephew, Daniel Blevins, letting him and other relatives know, for the first time, where the soldier was buried.
Having heard that story last spring, another Kentuckian invited Van de Straete and her family here — and on Tuesday, she sat next to Blevins as he was presented with an American flag in honor of Burkhart’s sacrifice in a ceremony in front of the old Harlan County Courthouse.

Growing up in Evarts, Ky., Blevins recalls listening to his grandmother's stories about the brother who, as a child, broke both wrists, leaving his arms with a bend that the Army later promised to fix. In 1944, he enlisted at age 18, had his arms fixed
"We have been corresponding, and I told him I was coming to Kentucky," said Van de Straete. Tuesday, that meeting took place. Dominique gave Daniel a book of handwritten notes and photos from the cemetary where Henry Lee Burkhart is buried.
