Remembering the Battle of Okinawa On April 1, 1945, American forces launched an amphibious assault on Okinawa. The battle that followed was one of the most intense and costly in the Pacific Theater during World War II. For over 80 days, U.S. soldiers, sailors, airmen, and Marines fought a fierce Japanese resistance through torrential rains, unforgiving terrain and relentless enemy attacks. American forces persevered, securing the island by late June. Over 12,000 service members gave their lives

American Battle Monuments Commission Cemeteries
"The cemeteries that the American Battle Monuments Commission provides are an ongoing source of pride, sanctity, and hope I think for the families left behind. And while you see the pictures, you can't know it until you feel the breeze and see those crosses row on row, and realize how profound those deaths were in the provision of the lifestyle that we now enjoy. And for the men that were left there they just... They just want a moment of remembrance. That's all it takes. That's all we ever hope

Have you ever wondered how ABMC maintains level, pristine lawns across its cemeteries? At St. Mihiel American Cemetery, our staff regularly relevel graves affected by gradual settling of the ground over time. Each grave is carefully restored by hand: the turf is lifted, more soil is added, and the grass is rolled back into place and evened. The traces of this work fade within about two weeks as the grass grows back, eventually leaving the landscape as even and beautiful as ever in honor of the A

If you’ve visited our cemeteries, you may have seen this large mower at work. Every day, ABMC staff use it to mow and trim the grass, keeping the grounds immaculate and respectful. At Luxembourg American Cemetery, ABMC senior gardener François-Xavier Bernard moves row by row between the white marble headstones. Each pass is deliberate, each turn careful—because every stone represents a life of service and sacrifice. This work is not just maintenance. It is a promise to keep these resting places
