LIVE: Memorial Day at Netherlands American Cemetery | Honoring 7,992 Fallen

Welcome to Defense Now’s live coverage of the Memorial Day ceremony at the Netherlands American Cemetery in Margraten. Today, we pause to honor the 7,992 fallen U.S. service members laid to rest here, as well as those whose names are inscribed on the Tablets of the Missing. These American heroes made the ultimate sacrifice during World War II, liberating Europe and securing freedom for future generations. The Netherlands American Cemetery is the only American military cemetery in the country, and remarkably, every single grave has been adopted by a local Dutch family who continues to honor them today. 🇺🇸 Join us in the live chat to pay your respects, share where you are watching from, or honor a veteran in your own family.
