The American Military Cemetery in Luxembourg

Our first stop today was the American Military Cemetery outside the city of Luxembourg. There are more than five thousand soldiers who lost their lives during the Battle of the Bulge who are buried here. The last picture is the grave of General Patton who wanted to be buried with his men. We felt like we were walking on sacred ground as we read the names of the men on the crosses and on the huge wall that lists those whose bodies were not identified.
