An Air Force Chaplain from U.S. Air Force Europe and Air Force Africa, presents the closing benediction at the Memorial Day ceremony at Meuse-Argonne American Cemetery and Memorial in Ronagne, France on Memorial Day, May 25, 2025. The Memorial Day ceremony honors the U.S. Soldiers who passed away in the Meuse-Argonne Offensive of WWI. In September 1918, U.S. and Allied forces’ plans were made to strike German forces along the entire Western Front. More than 1.2 million U.S. troops fought during the 47 days of the Meuse-Argonne Offensive. About 117,000 were killed or wounded.
Today, Meuse-Argonne American Cemetery and Memorial is the largest American cemetery in Europe, hosting 14,246 graves. The cemetery was established here October 14, 1918 on terrain captured by the 32nd and 5th Divisions. (U.S. Army Photo by Sgt. 1st Class Jacob Kohrs, 10th AAMDC)
