Patriotic Theme

I went to the American Military Cemetery in Cambridge today. I had never been there and I thought it might be a great place to get some patriotic photos. I had so many that I liked, I thought I'd compile them into one board. The statement in the middle is what is written along the top of the wall that is inscribed with 5,126 names of the soldiers of World War II, who were either Missing in Action, lost or buried at sea, or "unknowns" who could not be identified prior to their burials. The full pdf file about the cemetery can be found here.
