Flanders Field American Cemetery
https://www.abmc.gov/Flanders-Field
At this peaceful 6-acre site in Waregem, Belgium, rest 368 of our military dead who gave their lives in liberating the soil of Belgium in World War I. Headstones surround a white stone chapel. Its altar is of black and white Grand Antique marble, with flags draped on each side; above it is a crusader's sword outlined in gold. Forty-three names are inscribed on the Walls of the Missing.
