Lorraine American Cemetery is less than one mile north of the town of St. Avold, France on highway N-33. St. Avold is 28 miles east of Metz, France and 17 miles southwest of Saarbrücken, Germany. The cemetery can be reached by car from Paris via the toll autoroute A-4 in about four hours.
There are 26 military cemeteries representing all nations across Normandy, but the most famous and visited overseas military cemetery in the world is the Normandy American Cemetery in Colleville-sur-Mer. No trip to our region is quite complete without a visit to this solemn and poignant place.
This small cemetery in the heart of Mexico City was established in 1851 by the United States Congress to gather the American dead of the Mexican-American War that lay in the nearby fields and to provide burial space for Americans who died in the vicinity.
It’s not surprising, perhaps, that there are numerous cemeteries and memorials spread throughout the world honoring the U.S. soldiers, sailors, and airmen who have given the ultimate sacrifice on foreign soil. While some are large and impressive, others are smaller, tucked away in small villages or on scenic overlooks.
