According to the American Battle Monuments Commission There are 26,255 Yankee dead from World War I buried in 4 cemeteries in France. There are 30,426 American dead from World War II buried in 6 cemeteries in France. These 56,681 brave American heroes died in their youth to liberate a country which is guilty of shameful unspeakable behavior in the 21st century. May the people of the United States of America never forget their sacrifice. France Sucks.....plain and simple! They are NO FRIENDS and they have stabbed us in the back and now even spied on us! We will NEVER forget this. The people and government of France should be ashamed of themselves and should apologize!
