On Dec.14, the American Battle Monuments Commission hosted a ceremony at Luxembourg American Cemetery to commemorate the U.S. and allied forces who fought in the Battle of the Bulge 80 years ago.

In honor of Native American Heritage Month, ABMC remembers the code talkers who fought in World War I and World War II. One of them was Pvt. Andrew Perry, buried in Rhone American Cemetery. Perry was born in 1920 into a family of Choctaw origin. He was one of the 7,500 Native Americans who enlisted in the U.S. Army. He is honored in ABMC’s centennial documentary “Our Promise”  https://youtu.be/-XIHcQQc-nM?si=cHpv9Su-XOxpIfBt

Carver McGriff stormed Utah Beach on D-Day +1. Since that day, he has returned to Normandy multiple times to honor the men he served alongside who did not make it home.

This week, Carver and fellow WWII veterans returned to the Normandy American Cemetery to recognize the 80 years that have passed since June 6, 1944. #DDay80 #WeRemember
