From Wikipedia the free encyclopedia:

The Henri-Chapelle American Cemetery and Memorial contains the graves of 7,992 members of the American military who died in World War II. It is one of fourteen cemeteries for American World War II dead on foreign soil, and is administered by the American Battle Monuments Commission. The fifty-seven acre cemetery and memorial is located three kilometers northwest of the Walloon village of Henri-Chapelle, which lies approximately 30 kilometers east of Liège, Belgium on highway N3. Aachen, Germany is about 16 kilometers to the east of Henri-Chapelle on N3. It is one of three American war cemeteries in Belgium: Flanders Field American Cemetery and Memorial (World War I) and Ardennes American Cemetery and Memorial (World War II).

In 1956 the statue Angel of Peace created by Donal Hord was unveiled at the cemetery.

When my mom and dad got married, Joe bought them a heavy cast iron skillet as a wedding gift. He told my mom "When I get back from the war, I want you to fix me this pan full of fried chicken." He didn't return from the war. D. Glenn-2016
