Luxembourg

Our goal for Sunday...2 countries in 1 day! First stop, the country of Luxembourg. We strolled through the capital city (with the same name). Then we drove to the Luxembourg American Military Cemetary.

Strolling through the city center




The Luxembourg American Cemetary is the final resting place for hundreds of soldiers killed during the Battle of the Bulge.


Understanding the battle plan


Jason is standing beside General Patton's grave. General Patton didn't die in the war. He made it home from the war only to be killed in a car accident. But at his request, he was buried beside the men he led in battle.

Christian pays his respects. (Isn't that just absolutely precious?)
