On this 50.5 acres of land are buried 5,067 soldiers who gave their life in WWII. Many of these lives were lost in Battle of the Bulge. The city of Luxembourg served as headquarters for General George S. Patton's U.S. Third Army. General Patton is buried here. Words can not describe the feeling you have as you walk through this cemetery.
On these two walls one side are detailed accounts recalling the achievements of the American armed forces in this region.
The other side is even more sombering as it contains 371 names of those missing.
A white stone chapel where a stained glass window contains the unit insignia's of U.S. Army Units.
General George S. Patton is buried here...
For those unknown but not forgotten...
