Memorial Day 2019

His Excellency, U.S. Ambassador to Luxembourg, J. Randolph Evans, and U.S. Embassies of Belgium and Luxembourg Assistant Army Attaché, Maj Keith Helms, pay respects during a wreath laying ceremony at the Luxembourg American Cemetery in Luxembourg, May 25, 2019. Throughout the course of U.S. history, service members have paid the ultimate price in defense of our Nation. Memorial Day is a time to honor their sacrifice and remember their legacy. This Memorial Day weekend, service members from United States European Command will participate in ceremonies at 21 American WWI and WWII military cemeteries across Europe. This year marks the 75th anniversary of WWII. The partnerships forged 75 years ago endure today as U.S. forces in Europe remain committed to European allies and partners.
