I learned something today that I didn't know.
They were buried facing west toward America. It breaks your heart to see all those crosses, to know that each one represents a young life, barely lived, and that they were so incredibly brave.
I heard that too.I never knew that and it nearly broke my heart when I heard it.
The news about the Americans being buried facing west had the same effect on me. I had not known that. Whoever designed the cemetery surely had a long view of things, a sense of purpose, destiny, and history that moves us still.
