A flag and a flower was placed on the gravestones of 457 American infants were buried between 1952 and 1971,in the cemetery adjacent to the U.S. Army Daenner Kaserne. They were honored on Saturday, May 14, at the Kindergraves Memorial Ceremony. The event, held annually the Saturday after Mother’s Day, was hosted by the U.S. Air Force’s Ramstein Area Chiefs’ Group and the German American and International Women’s Club. Both groups came together in the 1980s when the initial lease for the plots was set to expire. They worked with the city of Kaiserslautern and cemetery management to move the gravesites and draft a new lease.
