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.

Thanks for the info about the American Battlefield Monuments Commission.
So, we really don’t know exactly how “reverent” the Europeans are toward our American military dead that sacrificed their lives on European soil...
