American Battle Monuments Commission

The ABMC is so important to us because it cares for the dignity of so many of our Fathers around the world.

 Our reverence for the ABMC starts with their motto – a Pershing quote: “Time will never dim the glory of their deeds.”

The ABMC beautifully maintains – in pristine order – 26 WWI and WWII American Cemeteries and Memorials around the world. Because these two wars were (and will always be) the only wars fought by the United States in which too many were killed to send them all home for burial, the ABMC – as part of the Executive Branch of our Government was formed in 1923 to watch over the graves and plaques that mark or remember nearly 200,000 American, nearly a thousand of whom are the Fathers of Members of AWON.

We thank you . . . and we will always thank you.
