| "Cemetery Entrance" is the area immediately into the cemetery from the parking lot. The wall extending from the gate is inscribed with the names of GIs who were lost but whose remains were never found and interned. It's overwhelming to walk along the wall and see thousands of names. | "Cemetery" is just a view of part of the cemetery. It's maintained beautifully with not a blade of grass out of place. |
