Fatti rapidi: More than 5,000 American soldiers from World War II rest here, including General George S. Patton. The neatly arranged white crosses and Stars of David create a powerful visual tribute against the lush green lawn.
Punti salienti: Rows of white marble grave markers stretch over 50 acres, with Patton's grave marked by a distinctive helmet on his headstone. The grounds feature a chapel with incredible mosaic ceilings that tell stories of sacrifice and valor.
