My Great-Uncle is buried there. It's the most beautiful National Cemetery that I've ever visited. Very moving experience.

I've cursed the French before, but one thing about them: they have always taken care of our graves.

the german grave a few miles away is somewhat harrowing as well

I went there as well. The Canadians also have a cemetery nearby that is much smaller but very nice.

I am very glad that organization is doing that. It sounds odd to say but....Good for the French.

Went there in the fall of 2005. It was one of the most sobering experiences of my life.
