The WW1 &2 American Military Cemetery about 40 minutes from my home in the next county.. ( just a few pics of many)

Whenever I have reason to be in Cambridge I always visit to pay my respect to those brave American & Canadian men and women who fought and died on behalf of us all... the cemetery gets many visitors from all over the world...
