You are both correct. Apparently I was confused since his body was moved from its original resting place to another section of the cemetery.

As a side note, I find it touching that so many Luxembourgers still revere the men who lie under that sod, to the degree that they consider it their sacred honor to decorate the graves on memorable occasions. I only hope that we are as diligent in our reverence.

The American gravesites in Normandy are kept by local school children. The older generation will not let the children forget the sacrifices that were made for them.

The gravesites are impeccable. There isn’t a blade of grass out of place.
