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.

Originally a World War I cemetery, the Suresnes American Cemetery and Memorial just outside Paris now shelters the remains of U.S. dead of both wars.

The 7.5-acre cemetery contains the remains of almost 1,600 Americans who died in World War I and 24 unknown dead of World War II. Bronze tablets on the walls of the chapel record the names of almost 1,000 World War I missing. Rosettes mark the names of those since recovered and identified.

The World War I memorial chapel was enlarged by the addition of two loggias dedicated to the dead of World War I and World War II, respectively. In the rooms at the ends of the loggias are white marble figures in memory of those who lost their lives in the two wars. Inscribed on the loggia walls is a summary of the loss of life in our armed forces in each war, together with the location of the overseas commemorative cemeteries where our war dead are buried.
