Every year, people from all over the world visit American Battle Monuments Commission (ABMC) sites, from Normandy, France, to Busan, South Korea, to Corozal, Panama. At rest in the 26 overseas cemeteries are almost 139,000 dead, and memorialized on 'Walls of the Missing' are 60,314 fallen soldiers with no known graves. The ABMC administers, operates, and maintains 26 permanent American military cemeteries and 27 federal memorials, monuments, and markers. These graves and memorials are among the most beautiful and meticulously maintained shrines in the world. This is a study of the ABMC, from its founding in 1923 to the present.
