This is a follow-on to the previous post about military grave sites in the US. You can do a similar search for US Military grave sites overseas at the American Battle Monuments Commission website.
The American Battle Monuments Commission (ABMC) was established by Congress in 1923 to commemorate the service, achievements, and sacrifice of U.S. armed forces where they have served overseas since 1917, and within the U.S. when directed by public law.
The ABMC commemorative mission is reflected in 24 overseas military cemeteries that serve as resting places for almost 125,000 American war dead; on Tablets of the Missing that memorialize more than 94,000 U.S. servicemen and women; and through 25 memorials, monuments and markers.
You will find the ABMC website at http://www.abmc.gov/home.php
