It was nearly impossible to return these young warriors to the home front, so the decision was made to prepare them for buriel on French soil. Actually, the decision for buriel may have been made even before the invasion. The high command already knew what amount of casualties to expect, so they probably had already decided.

Because many Americans were dieing there and they had to bury them. Originally it was the St Laurent cemetery. There was no way we could bring all our dead back. There are almost 10,000 Americans memorialized in this cemetery. It is appropriate that they remain where they fought and died.
