Lorraine American Cemetery (France)

The Lorraine American Cemetery (St.Avold, France) holds the largest number of our dead from the WW2 European Theater. Let's honor their sacrifice and not forget that they gave the "Last Full Measure of Devotion."

Video features the grave of Medal of Honor recipient Ruben Rivers from the famed 761st Tank Battalion.

I am french and I am the father of a little american baby boy born in AZ. I have an infinite love and respect for the US. I live 15 miles away from that cemetery and visit it every month. Love the place. It's so silent.. Peaceful.. God bless the USA.

@EivomSeb2011-- Since the American Revolution, France has stood by the United States. This alliance is still alive today. The ultimate sacrifice made by both French and Americans that gave their lives to stop tyranny during WWII will not fade away thanks to places like the L.A.C. To have the flags of both of our countries fly over the graves of our war dead is not only symbolic of our relationship in life, but it's also symbolic our enduring relationship even after this life passess.
