    The image shows rows of white marble Latin crosses in a well-maintained military cemetery, photographed from a low angle beside a large sycamore or plane tree trunk. The crosses recede into the distance across a neatly manicured green lawn, with dense evergreen and deciduous trees forming a backdrop. The composition and style of the markers are consistent with American Battle Monuments Commission (ABMC) cemeteries in Europe.

    The Vermont National Guard sent a contingency of five soldiers along with Maj. Gen. Steven Cray, adjutant general, Vermont National Guard, to France celebrating the 100 year anniversary of the end of World War I. Each state that had National Guard representation in World War I were invited back to France to celebrate the anniversary. National Guardsmen visited monuments, cemeteries, villages, battle sites, trenches, museums, and attended ceremonies as part of their visit. The Center for Military History provided guides throughout the trip.
