Brittany American Cemetery
Attendees will include next-of-kin guests, local French men and women who will be observing their own Memorial Day, and singers from the United States, France, Germany and Australia.
The 27-acre field that inters the 4,410 soldiers is beautiful in its simplicity. There is no overabundance of flowers and landscaping.
Though it is fully half the size of the vast cemetery at Omaha Beach, the St. James cemetery attracts only about 80,000 visitors per year compared with more than 2 million people who go to Normandy.
