The American Cemetery

The Entrance

We visited the American Cemetery here in Manila about two weeks ago. It is on a hill just south of Makati. The grounds are very well kept and there are 17,000 crosses representing the Americans and Filipinos who gave their lives defending our freedoms during World War II in the Philippines. Their names are inscribed on the walls of the monument. There are also historical descriptions of the American involvement during the war in the Philippines. Here are a few pictures:
