Above is a link to a local Christian musician. He wrote a song called “Unknown”. He has a long intro on how the song came to be. He came across a WWI cemetery for Americans (Belleu Woods). At 3:00 in he talks about how as he walkther through the cemetery he came upon a cross marker that said “Here lies an American soldier, unknown but to God.”
At 4:00 in he starts singing. The song wonders about “Isn’t there a father, mother, brother, sister wondering when he’ll be home? Somebody that knew all of his hopes and dreams...”
Sad song, but comforting in that God knew (knows?) all about him, and he is not forgotten. I’ve read where in some of these small towns with an American cemetery, the town people still take great pride and care for them.
Thank you.
