Local citizens came to Epinal American Cemetery on November 11 to bring flowers to their adopted grave sites. These adopters do not clean the headstones, nor do they maintain the grounds. They are the keepers of history, passing along the memory of the men that gave their lives to liberate Europe. Typically, they bring flowers to the cemetery a few times a year as symbol of their thanks.
Epinal American Cemetery hosted its annual Veterans Day Ceremony on November 11, 2015 at 9:30 a.m. During the course of the day local citizens visited the cemetery to bring flowers to their adopted gravesites.
