All graves are adopted, and there's a waiting list for those who want to adopt one which is hard to get on because it's full. Luckily there aren't enough graves for all the interested locals.
This site of everlasting peace and appreciation helps to remind all of the ultimate sacrifice. Thank you to the people of the Netherlands and of the other host countries for taking such good care of heroes resting place.
My dad was stationed at AFCENT which is in Brunssum the Netherlands from 1972 to 1976 and again from 1979 to 1983. I had the honor of visiting this immaculately maintained Cemetery. It was a sobering moment every time I was there. Even as a 4th grader to realize that less than 30 years ago (at the time) hundreds of thousands of troops were dying on some of the land you were visiting as a tourist. The treatment of the Dutch people to Americans was an awesome experience while I lived in Europe. I am still in contact with some of them over 40 years later.
ABMC does a fantastic job maintaining these beautiful memorials and monuments. They are all first class in every way. I visited the American cemetery in Luxembourg today. The place drips with honor.
My grandpa on my dads side died April 13, 1945 near eastern Gummersbach Germany. I’ve been digging these past few days finally saw this video. I always wanted to visit where he was. Below is his grave site. Is there a way to get a photo of it somehow? Cried watching this beautifully taken care of place thanks to all who have helped over the last many decades. Raymond W.

I am an American who has an uncle buried in France. I thank the Dutch people for honoring our sacred dead!
I am Dutch, when I visit Maastricht I always visit this site. Keep it up, it is really important!
Thank you for taking care of our boys. I love the Netherlands. I’m part-Dutch, early settlers of New Amsterdam in the US

Sorry for correcting, all graves were adopted by 1946.
