How about you & your kids take a photo tour of GI cemeteries for Memorial Day (LINK)

Excellent photos of American cemeteries overseas, though not all of them. Total count: 104,366 graves. It looks as if our government takes excellent care of these sacred grounds.

Those graves certainly do look like they're well cared for. Glad to see somebody doing their job. I know in the Netherlands, people adopt graves of our soldiers and take care of them as if they were their own family's. A friend went to Normandy a few years back and decided to visit his uncle's grave. When he showed up at the cemetery and asked for directions to the grave, the people were upset that he didn't call ahead - because they would have had a guide waiting to take him directly there. He said it was (for a cemetery) beautiful and very well kept.

Near where I live. The closest one in Mobile reached capacity in 1969.

I visited here with Pete Alleva (Rhode Island) while stationed at Clark for several months. Entering and seeing the crosses unfold across the landscape just took my breath away. Pete and I wandered around pretty much in silence. We found his uncle's name on the memorial, which contains the names of all our dead from the Pacific.

Excellent post! Excellent website! The current squatter in washington not withstanding, these 104,366 grave eloquently defy the fool who thinks America owes anyone any sort of an apology. Sincerely. BruceV.
