While some of the burial areas where blocked off we were able to visit and lay flowers on a couple of easy company graves and others. They had a band play the star spangled banner and Taps which was spine tingling. The design, precision, and maintenance is amazing to see. Each cross or star has the soldiers service number on the back. Only service members who died in the battle or from injuries directly tied to the battle are allowed to be buried here. Families had the option to bring their sons home so the cemetery only represents about a third of Americans lost.
