I agree, no apologies...but perhaps a thank you for how beautifully they (presumably) have kept their graves. Those cemetaries exude reverence.

I absolutely agree. These memorials to the American fallen on European soil are beautiful.

This post refers to our current president “apologizing” to Europe for “American arrogance”.

Every time I hear anyone talking about “American arrogance” with regards to other countries, I respond by saying that America should stop helping other countries, should stop sacrificing her young men and women for other countries, and should keep her “arrogance” for the benefit of herself only.

The American cemetaries in Europe were designed, built and maintained by the American government, through the American Battlefield Monuments Commission. They are considered internationally to be parts of the United States.

We honor our own.
