Tunisia

The different campaigns explained in relief maps.
The arrows show where many of battles took place in Tunisia.
Looking back at the Wall of the Missing.  3,724 names of Missing in action.
Among our group of travelers we had three who are U.S. Veterans. Mohamed arranged to have a bouquet of flowers which this group of Veterans laid at the alter in the Chapel in honor of those interred in the Cemetery and those that are Missing in Action.
They then saluted the fallen
Chapel.  The U.S. Flag, plus the Christian and Jewish chapel flags, are left of the alter.
The early morning sun cast a shadow from the crosses onto the grass.  If a cross is damaged or stained they are replaced immediately to maintain the highest quality for our fallen military.
The crosses and the shadows from the morning sun.
No matter how you look you see the straight lines the the cross form.
Name unknown.    HERE RESTS IN HONORED GLORY A COMRADE IN ARMS KNOWN BUT TO GOD

Star of David for our Jewish Veterans
One last look at the cemetery, that covers 27 acres,  to say a prayer for these fallen comrades in arms. It is unknown to most people that this cemetery exists here.  These are Americans that died in some of the bloodiest battles in WWII fighting in North Africa . This was very moving for all of us.
