Half of the U.S. Army Air Force’s casualties in WW II were suffered by Eighth Air Force (more than 47,000 casualties, with more than 26,000 dead). Seventeen Medals of Honor went to Eighth Air Force personnel during the war.
The biggest Cemetary is near Cambridge...



Here is a link: American Battle Monuments Commission

Despite what we grumble about them, we owe the US a great debt for their sacrifice (IMHO).
