These Hallowed Grounds (PBS)

[Ron_TN]

This documentary highlights the foreign cemeteries and memorials honoring the sacrifices of the U.S. Military on behalf of other nations.

If you are a retired veteran, or active this film will show the love these people have for our troops.  In other countries,  I never known how many cemeteries where cared for. I knew a few but was shocked when I viewed this film.  I will admit it is a depressing film but I still needed to see it. I lost 3 uncles and 2 cousins An uncle in WWI  2 uncles in WWII A cousin in WWII and a cousin in Vietnam  .  I stumbled upon this film one night on PBS.  Well I  had to stop a half dozen times while watching it. It is a heart wrenching film about all the men who died in battle. The amazing  thing is how these countries all over Europe have taken so much care and interest of the hundreds of thousands of graves.  It should be shown in every school in America.
