Planning a visit to a veterans cemetery

Pay your respects

Visitors to veterans’ graves sometimes leave a coin on the headstone to show that someone came. You can leave a symbolic coin here. No money is involved, and nothing about you is published. About the custom, and what each coin is said to mean.

About this cemetery

Reproduced from the American Battle Monuments Commission’s own description of this cemetery, retrieved November 11, 2026. This is the agency’s text, unedited; it is not independent research by this site.

With headstones lying in a sweeping curve, the 42.5-acre Aisne-Marne American Cemetery in France, sits at the foot of Belleau Wood.

The cemetery contains the graves of almost 2,300 war dead, most of whom fought in the vicinity and in the Marne Valley in the summer of 1918. The memorial chapel sits on a hillside, decorated with sculptured and stained-glass details of wartime personnel, equipment, and insignia. Inscribed on its interior wall are almost 1,100 names of the missing. Rosettes mark the names of those since recovered and identified. In 1940 during World War II the Aisne-Marne American Cemetery chapel was damaged due to heavy fighting in the vicinity. All damage was repaired except for one shell hole in the chapel, left as a reminder of what took place.

Belleau Wood adjoins the cemetery and contains many vestiges of World War I. A monument at the flagpole commemorates the valor of the U.S. Marines who captured much of this ground in 1918.
