Epinal American Cemetery

This WWII cemetery is in the foothills of the Vosges Mountains in Eastern France. Although 61 percent were sent back to the US, there are over 5,250 graves in this cemetery. Also commemorated are 424 missing, of which 13 have since been found, identified, and given a proper burial.

The chapel and mosaic memorial of operations are beautiful! While there, we heard recorded hymns played on bells for 20 minutes. In the guest book, a lady from Paris wrote how grateful she was to the Americans who sacrificed their lives for France's liberation. Very moving!Read more
