We've visited several English and Canadian cemeteries in the Netherlands. This field of honor is for all American soldiers who fought for the liberation of the Netherlands 75 years ago. More than 10,000 Americans are buried in Margraten. It is certainly overwhelming to see so many white marble crosses on the green field. Respect.
