Midden in het prachtige platteland in het zuiden van Nederland 10 kilometer van Maastricht in Margraten vindt u de Amerikaanse begraafplaats voor WW-2 Amerikaanse casualiteiten. 17.742 Amerikanen en meer dan 1000 andere waren tegelijkertijd begraven in Margraten. De Duitse casualiteiten werden later bij de Duitse kerkhof Ijselstein her-begraven. De meeste andere geallieerde casualiteiten werden her-begraven bij Nederweert Oorlogsbegraafplaats (Brits Koninkrijk) en Amersfoort Cemetery (Canadien). Bijna 10000 gevallen Amerikanen werden teruggebracht naar de VS, waardoor 8301 soldaten hier in Margraten begraven werden. De hoge herdenkings toren is te zien voor het bereiken van de begraafplaats die 26,5 ha groot is. De begraafplaats begint als de bezoeker nadert door het Hof van Eer met het water dat de kapel toren weerspiegelt.
