Meet the ABMC Staff: Assistant Foreman Christophe Simonet

Published April 11, 2018

ABMC has more than 400 dedicated employees world-wide. Each person works to ensure the sacred mission of the agency is fulfilled. The majority of staff is locally employed citizens—people from the  surrounding towns and villages, who do much of the day-to-day maintenance and upkeep for the cemeteries and memorials. One such individual is Christophe Simonet, the assistant foreman at Aisne-Marne American Cemetery in Belleau, France.

Having worked at the cemetery for more than 23 years, hear Simonet talk about his responsibilities and why he’s proud of working at the cemetery, in the latest edition from our video series, Meet the Staff.
