This is where 1st Lieutenant Jimmie W. Monteith Jr is honored in the American Cemetery. The lieutenant is one of three medal of honor winners interned in this remarkable and moving place. The other two are Brigadier General Theodore Roosevelt Jr and T/Sgt Frank Peregory.
There are places in the world to which we want to go and there are places in the world where we wouldn’t want to go. The ‘War Graves’ are a place I couldn’t go.
I felt it important to go and pay my respects to the many who gave everything. It is a place one never forgets. I told myself not to cry but couldn’t help it.
