Brittany American Cemetery

Brittany American Cemetery in France is the final resting place for more than 4,400 Americans, most of whom lost their lives in the months after D-Day.
The cemetery is located southwest of the Normandy landing beaches and marks the region where American forces made their critical breakthrough during World War II.
Tablets of the Missing along the retaining wall of the memorial terrace honor an additional 500 service members missing in action.
The American Battle Monuments Commission honors America's fallen service members and their stories at 26 overseas cemeteries and 32 monuments.
