Civilians placing flowers at a memorial for WWI casualties in Paris, c. 1920. Found in Collection. On this Memorial Day, let us not just remember those whose graves we may visit, but those who never returned home. Approximately 140,000 U.S. servicemen and servicewomen are interred in 26 American military cemeteries overseas, according to the American Battle Monuments Commission (ABMC). These cemeteries are primarily for World War I and World War II casualties, with the option for overseas burial being discontinued after the Korean War. #localhistory #memorial #wwi #photography #1920 #casualties #memory #community #war #history #paris #loss #grief #remember #laurels #flowers #KIA #MIA (fb)
