THE BEAUTY OF
Manila American Cemetery and Memorial is located in the heart of Taguig City on the lands of Fort Bonifacio and serves as the largest grave site for Americans who have died during World War II. A total of 17,206 graves are located in the memorial, which covers 615,000 square meters, and is dedicated to the brave soldiers of the United States, as well as those of other allied nations, who served during World War II.
In most cases, the soldiers and personnel whose
remains are interred have either been killed in New Guinea, the Allied Recapture of the Islands, or at the Battle of the Philippines.
The military honors every soldier’s grave as a monument of pride and respect, which is why marble is used to make the headstones, which are arranged in eleven plots in a near circular pattern that blends with the variety of trees and plants found within the grounds.
