Honoring Heroes at the Ardennes American Military Cemetery | WWII Remembrance

Join us on a poignant journey to the Ardennes American Cemetery and Memorial, a solemn tribute to the heroes of World War II. Located near Liège in Belgium, this sacred ground, dedicated in 1960, stands as a testament to the sacrifices made during one of the most pivotal conflicts in history.

This historic cemetery spans 90.5 acres and is the final resting place for 5,329 American war heroes. It is one of three American war cemeteries in Belgium, with the others at Flanders Field and Henri-Chapelle, all overseen by the American Battle Monuments Commission (ABMC) @usabmc

The Ardennes American Cemetery holds a profound significance, as it was liberated from German control by the U.S. 1st Infantry Division on 8 September 1944. In February 1945, a temporary cemetery was established on this hallowed ground. After the war, it was designated as a permanent cemetery, becoming one of the 14 permanent cemeteries for American World War II soldiers on foreign soil.

Many of the 5,329 individuals interred at this sacred site made the ultimate sacrifice during Nazi Germany's final major offensive in the west, known as the Battle of the Bulge. Among them were service troops who courageously fought as infantry. Others laid down their lives in the advance to the Rhine, across Germany, and in the strategic bombardment of Europe. Remarkably, three-fifths of those buried here were airmen.
