The 82nd Airborne Memorial in Grave commemorates the deployment of the American 82nd Airborne Regiment during Operation Market Garden in September 1944. The airborne troops captured the strategically important bridge at Grave, enabling the Allied advance towards Nijmegen and Arnhem.

The memorial is located near the John S. Thompson Bridge and marks the spot where soldiers entered the village and secured the Maas Bridge. It consists of a stone memorial with a plaque and commemorative symbols and is maintained by local historical societies. It is a landmark for walkers and visitors who want to learn more about Grave's wartime history and the crucial role of the 82nd Airborne in the liberation of the region.
