On March 4, 1923, the U.S. Congress created ABMC to honor the fallen and those who served by maintaining 🇺🇸 cemeteries and monuments overseas and in the U.S. to a pristine standard; a sacred and personal mission for our staff.

The simple act serves as a tactile bridge connecting the present with the past. Every touch represents an acknowledgment of sacrifice, an expression of gratitude to those who gave all. And

Have you ever wondered how ABMC maintains level, pristine lawns across its cemeteries? At St. Mihiel American Cemetery, our staff regularly relevel graves affected by gradual settling of the ground over time. Each grave is carefully restored by hand: the turf is lifted, more soil is added, and the grass is rolled back into place and evened. The traces of this work fade within about two weeks as the grass grows back, eventually leaving the landscape as even and beautiful as ever in honor of the A

Have you ever wondered how ABMC maintains the pristine lawns that frame our headstones? This process is called scarification, also known as dethatching. It removes layers of old grass and organic debris that build up on the soil surface. By clearing this thatch, gardeners allow air, water, and nutrients to reach the roots, helping the grass grow stronger and healthier. The work may leave the turf looking rough for a few days, but soon, the grass recovers healthier than ever, honoring those who r
