Rhone American Military Cemetery, Draguignan, France
Video of this well looked after Military Cemetery in the south of France - wiki says The Rhone American Cemetery and Memorial is an American war cemetery in Southern France, memorializing American soldiers and mariners who died in Second World War operations in that area. The cemetery covers 5.1 hectares (12.5 acres) within the city of Draguignan. The cemetery is named for the Rhone river and its watershed, where most of those interred fought and died. The cemetery adjoins the civilian cemetery of the city of Draguignan. It was started during World War II combat operations in 1944, with the memorials, landscaping, and improvements added after the war. The cemetery was built and is operated by the US government, with support from the host country of France.
Those interred died mostly in the summer of 1944 during Operation Dragoon, the Allied invasion of Southern France from the Mediterranean, which followed the Allied invasion of Normandy. This operation was designed to open a second beachhead and Allied combat zone in France, threatening the Axis units confronting the Normandy combat zone, and thus to accelerate the Allied drive into Western Europe. Those interred were mainly part of the U.S. Seventh Army, in particular the US 45th Infantry Division, the US 36th Infantry Division, and the US 3rd Infantry Division.
We shall remember them.

While on our trip in France we went to this Cemetery and got there just before they were closing. There was a guy bringing the flags down on his own and I was worried it would not get done right so I offered to help. Guy was really nice and we stayed way past closing time looking around.

Durante la cerimonia al Cimitero Americano di Draguignan in Provenza (FR) due reparti di ricostruzione storica entrano inquadrati al cimitero per rendere gli onori. Come per l'ingresso c'è anche l'uscita dei due reparti. La cerimonia per intero era troppo lunga per accluderla in questo video.
*Why look for the living in a cemetery?*
*Easter Sunday*
Jesus was buried in a borrowed grave, true to form. He'd borrowed the donkey on Palm Sunday and the supper room on Holy Thursday...why change a winning formula.
