Help to remember

Green. The colour of a soldier’s uniform, but also that of the sacred ground covered with white marble crosses and Stars of David where they find their final resting place. Fields that remind us of the price of freedom. This is where freedom, war, the present and the past come together; themes that are inherently linked. They offer us a place for reflection. That is also why we tell the stories of the tens of thousands of American soldiers who died in Europe during the Second World War. We commemorate and honour the men and women who gave their lives for our freedom. We do this not only for the present, but also for our future.

You can help us with this. Give a soldier a face, support us with a donation or by becoming a donor, or get involved yourself as a volunteer.
