Normandy American Cemetery sits on a bluff high above the coastline where the legendary D-Day beach landings of World War II took place.
These hallowed grounds preserve the remains of nearly 9,400 Americans who died during the Allied liberation of France.
Its memorial, a symbol of the indomitable spirit of American youth, is recognized the world over.
Behind it, the names of over 1,500 service members whose remains have not been recovered are carved on the walls of the Garden of the Missing.

The American Battle Monuments Commission honors America's fallen service members and their stories at 26 overseas cemeteries and 31 monuments.
