Inscription on a memorial plaque at the American Cemetery overlooking Omaha Beach, "These Endured All And Gave All That Justice Among Nations Might Prevail and That Mankind Might Enjoy Freedom and Inherit Peace."
Thanks to Sammi, our tour guide in Carthage, Tunisia, after the regular stops at Bardo National Museum and Sidi Bou Said, Sammi arranged an un-scheduled visit to the World War II North Africa American Cemetery and Memorial. I have always felt a sense of gratitude and respect when visiting National Cemetery, it was even more special during our vacation because it reminded us to pause and remember the men and women who gave their life and fought with honor and commitment so we could enjoy freedom and liberty.
On this wall are engraved the names of 3,724 American Missings who gave their lives in the military services ranging from North Africa to the Persian Gulf during World War II. Photos below showed headstones of final resting places of 2,841 American soldiers.
