Lorraine American Cemetery and Memorial

These images were taken during a day trip into France on 4 Jun 2005. This is the second American Memorial Cemetery that I found to visit in Europe. The first was in Hamm, Belgium. See my profile page for a link to those images.

This one was closing right as we arrived but the caretaker was nice enough to permit us to visit freely before the sun set. There are 10,489 graves here. Most of the soldiers remains were "returned" to the US for final burial but still others remain.
