Their next-of-kins faced a difficult decision after the end of the war. They could either repatriate the remains of their loved-ones back to the United States or let them eternally rest on the former battlefields. Ultimately, fourteen new American cemeteries were established, of which twelve are in Europe. These cemeteries are the final resting place of approximately 90,000 soldiers. This virtual memorial remembers about half of these men and women. They are either buried in or memorialized as missing at the overseas American War Cemeteries Ardennes, Epinal, Henri-Chapelle, Lorraine, Luxembourg, and Margraten. These fields of honor are located in Belgium, France, Luxembourg, and the Netherlands.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"ghostkit-col ghostkit-col-lg-12 ghostkit-col-2 is-layout-flow
