This is a large monument to the US Forces that fought in the region in WWI. If you are in the town, you can see this monument up on the hill. If you are visiting the cemetery in Belleau Wood, this is nearby and you should go ahead and make a stop here. It is a nice monument. We stumbled into a sign for the monument while trying to find the highway after leaving Belleau Wood.

Much less than other memorials that we visited. Only reason to visit would be honoring the WW1 Americans who died in the country's service

This monument stands out way above the town so its a must for a visit. At the moment its half covered in scaffolding which was a shame. A map tells the story and of the sad loss of life.

If you come into Chateau Thierry from the east you can see this monument on the hill dwarfing the town. Monument built by the Americans after World War 1 is most impressive from afar and up close. We only spent about 20 minutes or so at the site as there is 'only' the monument along with some grassed grounds. Having said that it is well worth a visit if you are anywhere nearby.

Another lovely American monument with wonderful view over the town - presently under repair and scaffolded on one side so cant get full effect., One has to wonder why the American build such wonderful cemeteries and chapels - then build separate monuments as well? But lovely all the same!

The drive from Paris to Chateau-Thierry is a beautiful, wooded trip. The actual memorial and monument were great and the walk in the nearby woods were great.

Impressive monument with view of the valley and the Marne where such important fighting took place. Immaculately maintained. Found by accident - didn't know it existed until we visited Chateau Thierry site of grandfather's war experience. We were the only visitors there. Viewing Marne river, lunch in village and WWI era buildings on the square made this a memorable stop. Can drive up from village to memorial easily. Wondered at contrast with crowds at WWII cemetery in Normandy vs. isolation here.

Quite a spot, with a wonderful view of Chateau-Thierry and the Marne River. Of course, if you're looking at it from the other direction, I gather, the reviews get a bit mixed. The locals refer to it as the "radiator." Walk up into the woods behind the memorial and you will find the remains of trenches.

We visited with an ex-US Marine so this visit was doubly interesting. The memorial dominates the landscape and can be seen on the hillside from miles around. When we visited there were gardeners there and it looked immaculate. We went to the town of Chateau Thierry first and one elderly gentleman spoke very animatedly to our very obviously American son in law. Sadly he couldn't understand a word, but the gentleman shook his hand and pointed to the monument. I guess they are still grateful for what the Americans did in both World Wars, especially given the history of Chateau Thierry which was a base for US troops. The monument gives an amazing view of the town and surrounding countryside. It is very American, very big and very imposing. It is close to the cemetery at Bellau Wood and can be visited in the same day.

There, nestled in the hills above Chateau Thierry is this amazing memorial no American knows about. Tall, imposing and beautiful it sits there memorializing the men, and women, of the United States military who came to France to fight "the war to end all wars". The monument survived WW2 and stands today as a reminder of our involvement in the First World War, a war which will celebrate it's 100th anniversary next year. The young men and women buried in the French soil from that war have been there 95 years, yet very few Americans remember thier sacrifice. This monument is a beautiful tribute to those who fought and died and is worth your time.
