Hugely important site , extremely well done , very moving place , my grandparents served in WW2 and although this is the American cemetery it still moved me completely . Walking down onto Omaha beach and imagining the horrors really brought it home, well worth a visit to pay your respects.

So many young lives lost, but a nation that has not forgotten it's fallen...a well manicured and maintained cemetery and a reminder to us all of the follies of war that we continuously remember to forget.Sad sad sad.

Is an amazing tribute to walk through a beautiful building so many names all over so many young lives from so many villages. The whole area is covered with bomb damage you can actually see where it was just bombed. You can pay respects you can see the evil and hell of war

I can't add anything to other reviews. It's beautiful and peaceful, and needs to be preserved - and guarded. Go there and be reminded of what they fought for, and what we can lose if we take it for granted.

We travelled to The American Cemetary in Meuse Argonne last Monday. It is remote and difficult to reach but well worth the effort. This is a beautifully kept memorial to the young men who fell to their death so far from home in WW1. Thank you to David who made this visit unforgettable for my family who were visiting the grave of my Grand Uncle.

"This chapel is erected by the United States of America as a sacred rendezvous of a grateful people with its immortal dead"The Meuse-Argonne American Cemetery, the largest American military cemetery in Europe, is indeed a sacred place. WWI American doughboys who fought in the Meuse-Argonne campaign area have their final resting place here, along with the many thousands of missing whose names are inscribed along the wall of the chapel. The cemetery is beautifully maintained thanks to the hard work of the American Battle Monuments Commission. Note that you can download guides to all ABMC locations from their website (ABMC.gov) which will help inform you on your visit.As you pass row upon row of the fallen, take a moment to read the names, rank, and division of the soldier. You will find buglers, pilots, and officers alongside simple privates. The number of fallen is staggering and sobering.The chapel is especially beautiful and an important area for contemplation. The cemetery required the inclusion of maps describing the actions of the different divisions during the campaign, engraved into the living stone. One should spend at least two hours at the cemetery, and be sure to visit the guest house to record your thoughts and look down upon the beautiful, and tragic, scene.[Note that this is not a WW2 cemetery that has confused other reviewers. There are many military cemeteries in France, and the ABMC website can make your trip better informed.]

Beautifully maintained as you might expect. A sea of crosses and stars of David, for young men (and some women) who had travelled around the world to fight, as had the many Commonwealth lads who fell in the British sector.

A beautiful setting where you find rows upon rows of gravestones. The sheer number is just a reminder of the destruction. The grounds are sympathetically tended.

Very humbling experience. Must see. Visitors centre has a fantastic and informative display. You should allow at least 3 hours for the visit. There is direct pedestrian access to Omaha beach also.

This place is actually the Meuse-Argonne American Cemetery from WWI. It is an amazing beautiful location that is somewhat remote. I highly recommend visiting. You can also get facts and figures from the American Battle Monuments site. I was on the way to Paris to pick up the wife and daughter and go to Normandy. Would loved to have showed them this place. Be sure to take some time to go see the area where the American's fought and also you can hike up to where Alvin York got his Medal of Honor. You can find all of that with a little internet searching.Very moving to see how many young soldiers died within a few months together in 1918.
