Luxembourg American Cemetery.
We made a sobering visit to the cemetery where 5,075 U.S. service members lie, 90% of whom lost their lives in the Battle of the Bulge in the advance to the Rhine River. The design is a softly curving fan shape consisting of nine sections interspersed with four fountains, majestic trees, and expansive rose and rhododendron beds. It is a befittingly tranquil final resting place for these Americans who gave their lives.
The city of Luxembourg served as headquarters for Gen. George S. Patton's U.S. Third Army. Gen. Patton is buried here among his men.
