I'm doing a memorial day cook of pork butts.

The only American Cemetery in the Netherlands, is located in the village of Margraten . The grounds cover 65.5 acres of land . This the the place where American WWII military personnel are now resting in eternal peace .

The NETHERLANDS AMERICAN CEMETERY established by the “American Battle Monuments Commission” was officially dedicated on July 07, 1960 . The area was liberated by troops of the 30th Infantry Division on September 13, 1944, while the burial site was opened on November 10, 1944 by elements of the Ninth United States Army.

Here rest forever 8,301 American military dead, among which 106 “unknowns” . Engraved on the north and south walls (i.e. two tablets) of the Court are the names, rank, organization, and the state of 1,723 “missing” of both the Army and the Army Air Corps.
