The Sicily-Rome American Cemetery and Memorial is a cemetery for our military servicemen and women who paid the ultimate price of war in World War II.
It was initially set up as a temporary wartime cemetery on 24 January 1944 in Nettuno two days after the landing on the beaches of Anzio and Nettuno. Today, the site covers 77 acres with the headstones of 7,861 American military war dead from every state.
As you walk along the headstones, you can’t help but feel a sense of peace and serenity as you’re silently reminded that time will never dim the glory of their service. God Bless the United States of America and its unwavering commitment to freedom!
Rome isn't called the Eternal City for nothing. There is something timeless about it and there is always something going on that's interesting, exciting and fun. Join me as I share some of my experiences round about Rome.
