On May 25th 1944 we staged an all-out attack. We broke through the lines ten days later we liberated Rome but the cost was very high. In four months total casualties amounted 28000, killed, missing, wounded. Twenty eight thousand. And here many of our comrades (cries) are resting in peace now. Excuse me.

21. SOUNDBITE: (English) Brigadier General Edward Thomas (Rtd), WWII Veteran:
We came into Rome, we found the streets absolutely quiet, no even dogs or cats on the streets, like the city of the dead. Finally when the citizens realised that there would be no combat in the area they poured into the streets, and (it) was just a joyous occasion. It was a great experience to be in a great city like this on day of liberation and being a part of the liberation.

STORYLINE:
Dozens of US World War II veterans went to pay respects to their friends at the Sicily-Rome American Cemetery in Nettuno, Italy Monday.
The US Ambassador and the Italian Defence Minister were among the officials from both countries taking part in a memorial day ceremony to honour the thousands buried there.
Young soldiers and their families, and relatives of veterans stood to attention as the national anthems of Italy and the United States were sung, and four F-16 fighter planes flew overhead.
There are 7,860 tombstones in the cemetery and 3,095 names on the wall of the missing.
The cemetery, established in 1944 just two days after US troops landed in Anzio, honours the dead who gave their lives in fighting between 1943-1945 as US troops made their way from Sicily, and the Italian towns of Salerno, Anzio and Nettuno towards Rome.
The cemetery is located where the US 3rd infantry division made his northern advance during the Italian campaign.
Among the veterans present on Monday was retired Brigadier General Edward Thomas, the first American who led troops into Rome.
It was a great experience to be in a great city like this on day of liberation and being a part of the liberation, said Thomas.
Thomas now lives in Charlotte, North Carolina.
John Boller, of Long Island, was 19 when he landed at Anzio with the 3rd infantry division, and following the ceremony he wandered among the tombstones searching for names of his friends.
Anzio was the scene of one of WWII's bloodiest battles - four months after securing the beachead, the Allies defended their position despite heavy and sustained bombardment from the Germans.
Allied forces counted 30,000 combat deaths during the 1944 Anzio campaign and another 37,000 non-combat deaths, primarily from disease, exhaustion and other causes.
