Default Overseas Military Cemeteries

The United States maintains 24 military cemeteries on foreign soil. The largest is the Meuse-Argonne cemetery in France. More than 14,000 World War I remains are interred there. The Normandy cemetery contains more than 9,000 graves.

Two excellent websites with lots of information and photos can be explored:

www.abmc.gov is the American Battle Monuments Commission.

www.cwgc.org is the Commonwealth War Graves Commission. It describes Great Britain's military cemeteries.

Both offer solemn testimony paid by young men and women for the price of war. The ABMC is dedicated to preserve that legacy. American graves will not simply vanish.

Remember Pearl Harbor!
