SUMMARY:Faces of Cambridge to Occur Memorial Day Weekend
DESCRIPTION:Come to Cambridge American Cemetery May 27-28\, 2017 to see the Faces of Cambridge. During this weekend you can walk these hallowed grounds\, and see the faces of the men and women who paid the ultimate sacrifice in the fight to liberate Europe during World War II.  More than 3.5 million Americans passed through the United Kingdom during the war\, but thousands of them never returned home. \nTo coincide with the 75th anniversary of this “Friendly Invasion\,” cemetery staff wanted a way to bring the memory of these service members to life. More than 4\,000 photos of the fallen will be on display next to their headstone or name on the Tablets of the Missing that weekend. \nWith nearly 9\,000 Americans honored at the cemetery\, staff expect this to be an ongoing effort and are hopeful they can support this event in future years. This program echoes the concept of Faces of Margraten\, which began a few years ago at Netherlands American Cemetery. \nIf you have a photo you would like to share for the event\, email Cambridge@abmc.gov with a copy of the image. \nEntrance to the cemetery and visitor center are free. All visitor services are free as well.

Poems\, biographies of fallen heroes and extracts from their letters will be read during this solemn ceremony. This exhibit will run from May 25 through May 31st. During this special exhibit you can walk these hallowed grounds\, and see the faces of the men and women who paid the ultimate sacrifice in the fight to liberate Europe during World War II.  Millions of Americans served in the war\, but more than 400\,000 never returned home. \nTo coincide with Memorial Day weekend\, U.S. Memory Grand Est France\, the group which manages the grave adoption program at Epinal American Cemetery\, wanted a way to bring the memory of these service members to life. More than 1\,200 photos of the fallen will be on display next to their headstone or name on the Tablets of the Missing that weekend. \nWith more than 5\,600 Americans honored at the cemetery\, the group hopes this will be an ongoing effort they can support in future years. This program echoes the concept of Faces of Margraten\, which began a few years ago at Netherlands American Cemetery.
