Description
An account of the resource
In a plaza in Battery Park at the south end of Manhattan and facing the Statue of Liberty is the national World War II monument to those servicemen who lost their lives in combat in the Atlantic Ocean and who are missing at sea. The plaza consists of eight large granite pylons on which the names of 4,601 missing servicemen are inscribed. These pylons sit four to a side and in between is a sculpture of a large bronze eagle holding a laurel wreath over a wave. The bronze plaque on the statue indicates this Memorial honors not only the lost servicemen but also the 6, 185 Merchant Mariners and 529 members of the US Army Transport Service who were lost during the war. Commissioned by the American Battle Monuments Commission (ABMC) which oversees the Memorial, the plaza was designed by architect Paul Cret Harbeson and the statue was sculpted by Albino Manca. President John F. Kennedy dedicated the memorial on May 23, 1963

Description
An account of the resource
This beautiful cemetery overlooks Omaha Beach which was the scene of the bloodiest fighting for the U.S. on June 6, 1944. The site was built and is maintained by the American Battle Monuments Commission. The visitor’s center contains a wealth of displays and information about the fighting at Normandy and the units that participated. There is also a moving hallway – the Hall of Sacrifice -- where the names of those who are interred in the cemetery are read aloud as you walk through into a room that highlights personal stories of some of those who are buried here. The cemetery contains 9,387 burial sites including 34 pairs of brothers as well as several women who served with the Red Cross and the WACs. There are also 3 Medal of Honor Recipients interred here. Behind the memorial area is a wall inscribed with the names of 1,557 missing servicemen who have no known graves. The large memorial is comprised of an impressive semi-circular colonnade; inside are engravings of battle maps from the fighting in Normandy. At the end of the colonnades are large black ornamental urns. In the middle of the semi-circular is a spectacular 22 foot tall sculpture entitled The Spirit of American Youth Rising from the Waves, sculpted by Donald de Lue. In front of the memorial is a large rectangular reflecting pool flanked by flagpoles from which fly large U.S. flags. There is also a memorial chapel along the center walkway among the gravestones; the ceiling of the chapel contains a beautiful mosaic. On the far end of the cemetery are two granite statues that represent France and the U.S.

Description
An account of the resource
The American cemetery for Rome/Sicily is located in the town of Nettuno, which is east of Anzio and a short train ride from Rome. The site was chosen soon after the landings at Anzio and became a permanent cemetery in 1956. There are over 7,000 remains in the 77 acre site as well as a chapel inscribed with the names of 3,095 of the missing, whose remains were never recovered or identified. Most of those in the cemetery died prior to the liberation of Rome in 1944. For further information:
The American Battle Monuments Commission website provides background on the commission and downloadable brochures for all of the cemeteries on foreign soil: http://www.abmc.gov/Sicily-Rome
Design elements:
This cemetery is laid out in neat arcing rows of headstones in a large green lawn and the headstones are uniform and simple. Each headstone is a simple white marble cross or Star of David and each headstone includes the name, rank, unit and date of death. For the unknown, the inscription reads “Here Rests In Honored Glory A Comrade In Arms Known But to God”. There are 23 sets of brothers buried side-by-side and two sets of twins. Seventeen women lie in this cemetery and two Medal of Honor recipients are buried here. The “Brothers-in-Arms” statue symbolizes an American soldier and sailor side-by-side. The sculpture on façade of museum is “Resurrection” with a dead soldier being taken to his heavenly reward by a guardian angel. The sculpture on façade of the chapel is a relief of “Remembrance” and pictures an angel bestowing a laurel wreath upon the graves of those who give their lives for the nation.
