The Luxembourg American Cemetery was established on December 29, 1944, during World War II, by the U.S. Graves Registry to bury those who fell in the Battle of the Bulge and other battles in the region. The cemetery covers approximately 20 hectares and contains the remains of 5,076 American soldiers, including one female medical orderly. The grounds feature 4,958 Latin crosses and 119 Stars of David, along with memorial plaques bearing the names of 371 missing soldiers and plaques for 22 pairs of brothers. The cemetery and chapel were dedicated on July 4, 1960.
