In keeping with current precautionary measures to prevent the spread of COVID-19, Manila American Cemetery in the Philippines is closed to the public until further notice.

No matter the circumstances, we continue to fulfill Gen. John J. Pershing’s promise that “time will not dim the glory of their deeds”.
