It is the largest World War II American Soldier Cemetery in Europe with 5 Medals of Honor . With 10,500 tombstones, this is a sight that should really give you food for thought. Was there twice. And each time goosebumps because the way from the parking lot is not really big, it doesn't have to be either. Passing the large chapel, it doesn't matter whether it's on the left or right side, it's kept so plain and simple. When you're halfway past the chapel. Do your eyes see a fraction of the white crosses. But that's enough to silence you. If you go further in front of the entrance of the chapel, it will knock you off your feet. Then you actually look at all 10,000 crosses and if you don't notice anything, you can't be helped anymore. 10000 who fought for your freedom. And if you've been to Luxembourg before and you know there are 5000 . Isn't that easy.
