I may be corrected, but I believe the American cemetary at Normandy is American soil, ceded by France years ago. Anyone?

Have no idea if it is American soil in diplomatic legalese, but it seems that with Jagoff Chirac's recent actions he is pissing on those graves.

You are correct. Similar to land that Embassies reside on.

It is not American soil, but it has been appropriated to the U.S. to control and maintain hence forth.

Yessir. It most certainly IS US soil, officially.

I must add, however, that the French gardeners have been fastidious about maintaining the graves there. The people of Normandy actually seemed to care and appreciate our efforts.
