About 5 miles from the Belleau Wood Cemetery and Battle Ground, is a American Monumant was built to commemorate the shared sacrifices and military achevements of the American and Frence forces during WW1

Underneath the monument was a museum showing the battle history around WW1 in this area.

Wow... It's humbling to look at these Ed. It's hard to believe that we were at one time a humble nation, how far we strayed.
