    Brigadier General Dieter Bareihs, Director of Plans, Programs and Analysis U.S. Air Forces in Europe and Air Forces Africa, lays a wreath during a Memorial Day remembrance ceremony at St. Mihiel American Cemetery, France, May 28, 2017. This year, Memorial Day is especially meaningful because 2017 marks the centennial of U.S. entry into World War I. In the 17 months of U.S. participation in the war, 4.7 million Americans served in the war and 116,516 lost their lives fighting. Tens of thousands are buried in U.S. military cemeteries here in Europe. (U.S. Air Force photo by Capt. Allie Stormer)

    A formal military memorial ceremony is taking place at what appears to be an American military cemetery, likely in France, given the presence of both American and French flags. A uniformed military service member carries a color guard with multiple flags, including the US flag, a blue Air Force flag, and the French tricolor, walking down a central stone pathway flanked by white neoclassical columns. Dignitaries, officials, and attendees stand on either side in formal attire.

Each grave is adorned with both American and French flags, suggesting a commemorative occasion. The setting is consistent with an American World War military cemetery located in France.
