American Overseas Commemorative

Cemeteries and Memorials 

“Time will not dim the glory of their deeds.”

 —GENERAL OF THE ARMIES JOHN J. PERSHING

OVERVIEW

The American Battle Monuments Commission (ABMC)—guardian of America’s overseas 

commemorative cemeteries and memorials— honors the service, achievements and 

sacrifices of U.S. armed forces. Established by Congress on March 4, 1923, ABMC’s 

mission includes:

★ Designing, constructing, operating, and maintaining permanent American military 

cemeteries in foreign countries;

★ Building and maintaining monuments, memorials and markers overseas, where 

American forces have served since April 6, 1917, and in the U.S. when directed by 

public law; 

★ Controlling the design and construction of U.S. military memorials, monuments, 

and markers overseas created by U.S. citizens and organizations, both public and 

private, and encouraging their maintenance.
4 AMERICAN BATTLE MONUMENTS COMMISSION

ABMC administers, operates, and maintains 25 permanent American military cemeteries, and 27 federal memorials, monuments, and markers, which are located in 16 foreign 

countries, the U.S. Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, and the British 

dependency of Gibraltar; three of the memorials are located within the U.S. These cemeteries and memorials are among the most beautiful and meticulously maintained shrines 

in the world. 

In addition to grave sites, the World War I and II cemeteries, together with the three 

memorials on U.S. soil, also commemorate by name those U.S. service members who were 

missing in action, or lost or buried at sea during World War I, World War II, the Korean 

War, and the Vietnam War.

There are 207,603 U.S. war dead from World War I and World War II commemorated at 

ABMC sites; this includes 30,922 interments and 4,452 memorializations for World War 

I, and 93,239 interments and 78,990 memorializations for World War II. Additionally, the 

names of 8,200 individuals listed as missing from the Korean War and 2,504 individuals 

from the Vietnam War are memorialized at ABMC’s Honolulu Memorial.

ABMC also administers Mexico City National Cemetery, Corozal American Cemetery 

in Panama, and Clark Veterans Cemetery in the Philippines. More than 15,500 members 

of the armed forces, veterans, and others are interred in these sites.

ABMC HISTORY

Recognizing the need for a federal agency to be responsible for honoring American armed 

forces where they had served overseas and for controlling military cemeteries, monuments and markers on foreign soil, Congress created the ABMC. General of the Armies 

John J. Pershing was appointed to ABMC’s Board of Commissioners in 1923, and was 

elected chairman by the other members. He served in that capacity until his death in 1948. 

Eight additional chairmen have since served in this position. 

Following World War I, the government recognized a need for a burial and repatriation 

policy for America’s war dead. Over the course of the conflict, more than 116,000 Americans lost their lives in Europe. Understanding the need to acknowledge America’s contribution to the war in Europe through commemorative cemeteries and memorials overseas, 

the government also respected the desires of many Americans to have their fallen family 

members returned to the U.S. Under provisions of the law, families were entitled to select 

permanent interment of a loved one’s remains in an American military cemetery on 

foreign soil or repatriation of the remains to the U.S. for interment in a national or private 

cemetery. The majority of families chose repatriation. Approximately 30 percent chose 

permanent interment in an ABMC cemetery. 

WORLD WAR I AND WORLD WAR II COMMEMORATIVE PROGRAMS

ABMC’s World War I commemorative program consisted of constructing eight permanent American cemeteries in Europe and erecting 13 separate memorials and markers 

through the course of the 1920’s and 1930’s. Each cemetery was accented with nonsectarian chapels, sculptures, battle maps depicting the course of the war in the region, and 

visitor reception facilities. Additionally, ABMC endeavored to document America’s efforts 

in World War I by compiling divisional operational summaries and publishing American 

Armies and Battlefields in Europe, a guidebook that provides detailed descriptions of and
OVERSEAS CEMETERIES AND MEMORIALS 5

directions to the European battlefields where Americans served. Serving with ABMC as 

part of this documentation process was a young U.S. Army Major, Dwight D. Eisenhower.

By the end of World War II, several hundred temporary burial grounds had been 

established by the U.S. Army on battlefields around the world. In 1947, 14 sites overseas 

were selected to become permanent cemeteries by the Secretary of the Army and ABMC. 

Similar to the policy following World War I, families of the deceased were once again 

offered an option for permanent interment overseas or repatriation. Similar to World War 

I, the majority of Americans chose repatriation. In a few instances, next of kin directed 

that isolated burials be left undisturbed, meaning the dead remained where they fell or 

were recovered. These graves continue to be maintained to this day by local communities.

Use of both the World War I and World War II sites as permanent military burial 

grounds was granted in perpetuity by the host country free of charge or taxation. Except 

in the case of the Philippine Scouts, burial in these cemeteries is limited by the agreements 

with the host countries to members of the U.S. armed forces who died overseas during 

the war. U.S. civilian technicians, Red Cross workers and entertainers serving the military 

were treated as members of the armed forces for burial entitlement. All of ABMC’s World 

War I and II cemeteries are closed to burials, except in cases when remains of American 

war dead are recovered today. ABMC’s World War II commemorative program consisted 

of 14 permanent American military cemeteries, 10 monuments on foreign soil, and three 

memorials in the U.S. Similar to the World War I cemeteries, each of the World War II 

cemeteries include nonsectarian chapels, sculptures, battle maps and narratives depicting 

the course of the war in the region, and visitor reception facilities.

Each grave site in the overseas American World War I and II cemeteries is marked by 

a headstone of pristine white marble. Headstones of those of the Jewish faith are marked 

by Stars of David; Latin crosses mark all others. Annotated on the headstones of the 

World War I servicemen who could not be identified is: “HERE RESTS IN HONORED 

GLORY AN AMERICAN SOLDIER KNOWN BUT TO GOD.” The phrase “AMERICAN 

SOLDIER” was replaced with the phrase “COMRADE IN ARMS” on the headstones of 

servicemen who could not be identified from World War II.

Individuals who are recorded as missing in action, or lost or buried at sea are memorialized by name on Walls of the Missing at the cemeteries or the three domestic ABMC 

memorials. 

ABMC’s policy-making body consists of a board of commissioners comprising up to 

11 members appointed by the president of the United States for an indefinite term and 

who serve without pay. The commissioners establish policy and ensure proper staff functioning to carry out the mission of ABMC. Daily operations are directed by an executive 

level secretary, who is appointed by the president.

ABMC headquarters is located in Arlington, Va. and an Overseas Operations Office is 

located in Garches, France, just outside Paris.

CLARK VETERANS CEMETERY is 

located north of Angeles City in the 

Republic of the Philippines just off 

the SCTEX. GPS Coordinates: N15 

10.066 E120 34.454

In January 2013, President Barack 

Obama signed into law the Dignified 

Burial and Other Veterans’ benefits 

Improvement Act (Public Law 112-

260) directing ABMC to operate and 

maintain Clark Veterans Cemetery 

following an agreement between the 

Republic of the Philippines and the 

U.S. That agreement was signed in 

December of 2013 making Clark ABMC’s 25th cemetery. Clark Veterans Cemetery holds 

the remains of U.S. veterans and civilians. There are more than 8,500 burials in the cemetery, including more than 2,100 unknowns.

While sources differ as to the earliest burial, interments date at least to the Philippine-American War (1899-1902). During that conflict and after, the U.S. operated a series 

of military installations in the Philippines with military post cemeteries. The construction 

of Manila American Cemetery in 1948 led to disinterment and consolidation of the nonWorld War II dead from four military post cemeteries onto Clark Air Force Base (AFB). 

The eruption of Mount Pinatubo in June 1991 led the U.S. Air Force to evacuate and Clark 

AFB was formally transferred to the Philippines in November 1991. The cemetery continued to be open for burials after the transfer, but it had been damaged in the eruption, and 

fell into disrepair. Between 1994 and 2013, the Philippine Government allowed members 

of the VFW Post 2485 to operate and maintain the cemetery. 

Traditionally, ABMC’s commemorative program has focused on World War I and World 

War II. Over time, ABMC’s mission expanded to include three cemeteries and one memorial which were passed to ABMC by executive order or through legislation. As ABMC’s 

World War II commemorative program started in the 1950’s, the agency quickly recognized the need to commemorate the Korean and Vietnam Wars as well. The Honolulu 

Memorial, for example, commemorates not only World War II, but also the achievements 

and sacrifice of America’s armed forces in both Korea and Vietnam. On Veterans Day 

2012, ABMC dedicated the Vietnam War Pavilion at the Honolulu memorial to further 

commemorate the Vietnam War. In addition, a new orientation pavilion was added to 

describe America’s efforts in the Pacific over the 20th Century and ABMC’s memorial 

program in the region.

COROZAL AMERICAN CEMETERY is 

located approximately three miles 

north of Panama City, Republic of 

Panama, just off Avenue Omar Torrijos Herrera between the Panama 

Canal Railway Company Train Station and Ciudad Del Saber (formerly 

Fort Clayton). To reach the cemetery, 

turn right on Calle Rufina Alfaro at 

the Crossroads Bible Church and 

proceed about one-half mile to the

ABMC assumed responsibility for the care and maintenance of the cemetery in perpetuity in 1982. At this 16-acre cemetery, there are more than 5,400 burials. A small memorial sits atop a knoll overlooking the graves area. It consists of a paved plaza with a 12-foot 

rectangular granite obelisk flanked by two flagpoles from which fly the U.S. and Panamanian flags. Engraved in Spanish and English upon the obelisk is the following inscription:

“THIS MEMORIAL HAS BEEN ERECTED BY THE UNITED 

STATES OF AMERICA IN HUMBLE TRIBUTE TO ALL INTERRED 

HERE WHO SERVED IN ITS ARMED FORCES OR CONTRIBUTED 

TO THE CONSTRUCTION, OPERATION, AND SECURITY OF

U.S. KOREAN WAR MEMORIAL is located in the U.N Memorial Cemetery in 

Busan, South Korea. GPS Coordinates: N35 07.710 E129 05.783

The memorial was approved by 

the ABMC in October 2010 to honor 

the sacrifices and achievements of 

the American armed forces during 

the Korean War. The memorial was 

officially dedicated on July 28, 2013 

in the only United Nations cemetery 

in existence.

The memorial consists of a 

polished slab of dark gray Vermont 

granite that is 8 feet 10 inches tall, 4 feet wide and 1 foot thick. The granite slab serves as 

a “witness stone” in tribute to those Americans who served during the Korean War including the 36,574 Americans who died in Korea between 1950-1953. Engraved upon the 

memorial are the words “Honor Freedom Peace,” representing the principles which the 

U.S. fought to preserve during the Korean War.

SANTIAGO SURRENDER TREE is located in Santiago, Cuba on the south 

side of the Avenida Raul Pujols, and 

just east of the Santiago de Cuba

The monument marks the site at 

which Spanish forces surrendered 

Santiago de Cuba to U.S. forces on 

July 17, 1898 during the Spanish 

American War. On July 1, 1898 U.S. 

and Cuban troops had taken El Viso 

Fort, the town of El Caney and San 

Juan Heights, and San Juan Hill, with 

the help of the Rough Riders under Teddy Roosevelt. These victories opened the way to 

Santiago de Cuba. Clara Barton, founder of the American Red Cross, was among those 

who cared for the wounded at Santiago. By an Act of Congress, the Santiago Surrender 

Tree became the responsibility of ABMC on July 1, 1958. The tree has since died, but the 

cannon and plaques continue to mark the surrender site.

Memorials Constructed by ABMC now under the care of the National Park Service

At the direction of Congress, ABMC established an American Expeditionary Forces 

(WWI) Memorial, a Korean War Veterans Memorial, and a World War II Memorial in 

Washington, D.C. that now are operated and maintained by the National Park Service.

AMERICAN EXPEDITIONARY FORCES MEMORIAL (AEF), on Pennsylvania Avenue between 

14th and 15th Streets, NW commemorates the two million American military personnel 

and their Commander-in-Chief General of the Armies John J. Pershing who made up the 

AEF of World War I. Located in Pershing Park, it consists of a stone plaza, an 8-foot statue 

of Gen. Pershing and two 10-foot walls along the south and east sides of the memorial. 

The 2014 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) re-designated Pershing Park as 

the National World War I Memorial in Washington, DC. 

KOREAN WAR VETERANS MEMORIAL, on the National Mall, commemorates the sacrifices 

of the 5.8 million Americans who served during the three-year period of the Korean War. 

During its relatively short duration, June 25, 1950 to July 27, 1953, 36,574 Americans 

died while serving in Korea during the war. Of those, 8,200 were classified as missing 

in action and are commemorated in the Korean War Courts of the Missing at ABMC’s 

Honolulu Memorial.

WORLD WAR II MEMORIAL, located on the central axis of the National Mall, between 

the Lincoln Memorial and the Washington Monument, honors the more than 400,000 

Americans who gave their lives for freedom, the 16 million who served in uniform, and all 

who contributed to the war effort on the home front. Symbolic of the defining event of the 

20th Century, the memorial is a testament to the spirit, sacrifice and commitment of the 

American people.
