 Epinal American Cemetery in France is the final resting place of more than 5,000 U.S. service members. There are 20 cemeteries like this in two monuments to recognize our fallen and honor those who have given the ultimate sacrifice for the defense of our nation. The U.S.-European command supported 28 ceremonies in five countries during the week of Memorial Day. You have to keep in mind that there's a young face under every headstone. Nobody died of old age here. European cemeteries and battle monuments in Europe are well worth a visit any time of the year, according to Epinal's superintendent. I'd like to encourage each and every one of them to come and visit our cemeteries, and they realize that they're just a small part of something much, much bigger than themselves. And to come here and to see these beautiful headstones, it's a very humbling experience. Trust me, they will be touched just like I was touched today. Black Sergeant Tristan McIntyre, Epinal, France.
