To pay our respect and celebrate Memorial Day abroad,
we stopped at the American War Cemetery in Margraten Holland.
8,300 servicemen who died in World War II are buried at the site.
Beautifully designed, graves are marked with a plain white cross.
In honor of the holiday, each was graced with two flags, U.S. and Netherlands.
A silent walk around the grounds reminds one of the profound impact war has on man.
U.S. military cemeteries in Europe do an excellent job of explaining history
with maps and brochures.
They are well worth a stop when traveling.
