American Battle Monuments Foundation
Remember & Honor
The Fallen Heroes of WWI, WWII, Korean War & Vietnam War
Americans who fought, died, and are buried overseas made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedoms. Among our several programs, we engage today’s younger generations to learn the relevance of such sacrifice to their lives.
ABMF is the official partner of the American Battle Monuments Commission. ABMC maintains all 26 American military cemeteries and 32 monuments overseas. More than 218,000 American soldiers, sailors, airmen and Marines are buried or memorialized (remains unidentified/missing) in hallowed sites away from the homeland.
“For the love of country, they accepted death, and thus resolved all doubts, and made immortal their patriotism and their virtue.”
- James A. Garfield
